1. A bike has wheels with radius 1.5 feet and a front sprocket with 36 teeth. a) If the rear sprocket has 16 teeth, how fast will I go in mph if I pedal at 80 RPM? b) Changing gears, the rear sprocket now has 12 teeth. How fast must I pedal in RPM to go 30 mph? c) I change gears once again so that the rear sprocket changes and pedal at 80 RPM. If I am now going 15.42 mph, how many teeth does the rear sprocket have?

1. A bike has wheels with radius 1.5 feet and a front sprocket with 36 teeth.
a) If the rear sprocket has 16 teeth, how fast will I go in mph if I pedal at 80 RPM?
b) Changing gears, the rear sprocket now has 12 teeth. How fast must I pedal in RPM to
go 30 mph?
c) I change gears once again so that the rear sprocket changes and pedal at 80 RPM. If I
am now going 15.42 mph, how many teeth does the rear sprocket have?
2. A merry-go-round is turning at 10 RPM.
a) If a person on the edge is moving at 30 mph, ,what is the radius of the merry-go-
round in feet?
b) John is sitting 20 feet from the center. How fast is he moving?
c) The merry-go-round starts to slow down so that John is moving at 7 mph. What is
the angular speed of the merry-go-round at this time in RPM?
3. On a certain Ferris wheel of radius 100 feet, it takes 10 seconds to go from the bottom to the
ор.
a) What is the angular speed of the Ferris wheel in RPM?
b) How far does a person travel (i.e. what is the arclength one moves through) in 16
seconds?
c) The Ferris wheel operator says that you will be moving at 25 mph. Is he
exaggerating?
