this is incorrect, 186,283 revolutions per second if you have a wheel that is 1 mile in circumference.

to turn this around you can also have a wheel 186,283 miles in circumference that needs to make 1 revolution per second.

1 mile is 5,280 feet or 1.609344 km.

it is an incredible amount of kinetic energy!
