Answer

$1.59 \; revolutions\; per \; second$.

Work Step by Step

The given values are Angular velocity $=10.0\; rad\; per \; second$. We know that $2\pi \; rad = 1 \; revolution$. Therefore $1\; rad = \frac {1}{2\pi} \; revolution$ Or we can write $1\; rad \; per \; second= \frac {1}{2\pi} \; revolutions\; per \; second$ Multiply both sides by $10.0$ $10.0\; rad \; per \; second= \frac {10.0}{2\pi} \; revolutions\; per \; second$ Simplify. $10.0\; rad \; per \; second= \frac {5}{\pi} \; revolutions; per \; second$ This gives: $10.0\; rad \; per \; second= 1.59 \; revolutions\; per \; second$.
