    B How is tangential velocity measured in m/s when it’s r * w?

    Sorry for the delay. I wanted to make sure I fully digested this and understood it. Holy crap I can’t believe I’ve been learning physics on my own without people like you to help all along. Thank you so much. I’ve bookmarked this and still have to go over the Buckingham pi theorem a couple more...

    B How is tangential velocity measured in m/s when it’s r * w?

    I could be missing something fundamental to dimensional analysis (since it’s a field I know nothing about lol), but I don’t see how ##\theta## is dimensionless. I can kinda see it if we’re talking about theta by itself, but what about in relation to an area or arc length? I think where I’m...

    B How is tangential velocity measured in m/s when it’s r * w?

    Wow these links are priceless. Thank you so much! Loved this: Also, this is so clear: So it seems like, yes, the answer is that the dimension is m / m (dimensionless) if you consider the angle derived from arc length / radius, but you can get the same angular quantities other ways as well...

    B How is tangential velocity measured in m/s when it’s r * w?

    I feel very dumb asking this question, but I can’t seem to find anyone else asking it. I understand geometrically how we get to: ##v = r * \omega## Where v is the tangential velocity, r is displacement (meters), and omega is angular velocity (radians/s). Isn’t this then m*rad/s? How do we get...

    Studying physics in the jungle, losing my mind, excited to be here!

    Hey all! My life has been interesting. Long story short, I sold my company last year, have a lot of time on my hands, never have to work again, and want to just learn physics for no reason other than it’s awesome. I’m currently totally off the grid in a jungle in Hawaii and am splitting my time...
