@MwirigiCosmas1@LgCanisius@4Real_KE RPM(Revolutions per minute). That’s how the speedometer calculates speed. A product of RPM and the circumference of the tyre.
@LgCanisius@4Real_KE Just do the thought experiment. If you had a toy tractor with a circumference of x and a real tractor with a circumference of 100x, if they were spinning at the same rate the 100x tyre tractor would cover more distance per unit of time.
@KCK2022@4Real_KE She’s right. If you increase the diameter from 17 to 21 the circumference of the tyre increases, at a specific RPM the larger circumference tyre will cover more distance hence greater speed.
@wanjohichief1@4Real_KE She’s spot on. If you increase the diameter from 17 to 21 the circumference of the tyre increases, at a specific RPM the larger circumference tyre will cover more distance hence greater speed.
BREAKING: Elon Musk has become the world's first trillionaire.
After SpaceX raised a record $75 billion in its IPO, Musk’s net worth shot up to top $1.1 trillion when the stock began trading Friday, putting him in an economic class of his own.
Combined with his holdings in electric vehicle maker Tesla, as well as other investments and assets, Musk's net worth is now estimated at about $1.1 trillion.
Musk's stake in the rocket and satellite company alone is now estimated at a staggering $690 billion, but it's also a life-changing moment for thousands of workers at the company who hold equity.
Investors who watched Musk help turn Tesla into an automotive giant are now betting he can do the same in space and artificial intelligence, as SpaceX launches the largest IPO in history.
