How to calculate the rotational speed of a wheel as a function of its diameter and its linear speed?

Answer   Submitted by Answiki on 04/04/2022 at 09:23:30 PM UTC

The formula to convert a linear velocity expressed in  into a rotational speed expressed in  is given by:




With:

  •  the angular velocity expressed in 
  •  the linear velocity expressed in 
  •  the diameter expressed in 


For example, if a vehicle with 20 cm diameter wheels moves at 2 m/s, the wheel rotational velocity is given by:
