type unrar --help and all the possible syntaxes will be displayed. (Well, i think it's what i can remember for my small linux experience)

Navigate to where the files exist;e.g

 cd /home/mrizz18540/documents/

(hint: use tab auto-completion when navigating into deep layered directories for a more simpler life)or for short, providing the folder begins in your home path

cd ~/documents

then to extract into the current directory execute

unrar x rwrk28201-52000.part01.rar

to extract into a different location simply add it after the specified archivee.g

unrar x rwrk28201-52000.part01.rar /home/mrizz18540/videos/

If password protected it may ask you to enter the password many times for each archive so in this situation the -p switch comes in handy.the password in this example is A-O (case sensitive)

unrar x -pA-O rwrk28201-52000.part01.rar /home/mrizz18540/videos/
