Answer:

  • 16,965 mm/min
  • 90π ≈ 282.7 radians/min

Step-by-step explanation:

The circumference of the CD is ...

  C = πd

  C = π(120 mm) ≈ 376.99 mm

This is the distance a point on the edge of the CD will travel when making one revolution. It will travel 45 times this far when making 45 revolutions:

  (376.99 mm/rev)(45 rev/min) ≈ 16,965 mm/min

__

There are 2π radians in each revolution, so the angular speed is ...

  (2π rad/rev)(45 rev/min) = 90π rad/min ≈ 282.7 rad/min
