MHB Find angle in radians of tractor wheel going 22 mph in 12 s

AI Thread Summary
To find the angle in radians for a tractor wheel moving at 22 mph over 12 seconds, the discussion emphasizes using angular equations instead of linear ones. The formula v = rω is highlighted, where ω (angular velocity) is calculated by converting the linear speed to radians per second. The angle θ is then determined using the equation θ = ωt. The importance of unit conversions is also noted to ensure accuracy in calculations. This approach provides a systematic method for solving the problem.

the calculation is mine however, if ans is correct not sure what the conventional way would to set this up?

I typically would include the actual formulas you are using. I also tend to use the angular equations rather than trying to use the linear ones. For example: [math]v = r \omega[/math], so [math]\omega = \frac{v}{r}[/math] (And at this step you would do your unit conversions.)

Then you simply have [math]\theta = \omega t[/math].

Suppose ,instead of the usual x,y coordinate system with an I basis vector along the x -axis and a corresponding j basis vector along the y-axis we instead have a different pair of basis vectors ,call them e and f along their respective axes. I have seen that this is an important subject in maths My question is what physical applications does such a model apply to? I am asking here because I have devoted quite a lot of time in the past to understanding convectors and the dual...
Fermat's Last Theorem has long been one of the most famous mathematical problems, and is now one of the most famous theorems. It simply states that the equation $$ a^n+b^n=c^n $$ has no solutions with positive integers if ##n>2.## It was named after Pierre de Fermat (1607-1665). The problem itself stems from the book Arithmetica by Diophantus of Alexandria. It gained popularity because Fermat noted in his copy "Cubum autem in duos cubos, aut quadratoquadratum in duos quadratoquadratos, et...
Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In Dirac’s Principles of Quantum Mechanics published in 1930 he introduced a “convenient notation” he referred to as a “delta function” which he treated as a continuum analog to the discrete Kronecker delta. The Kronecker delta is simply the indexed components of the identity operator in matrix algebra Source: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/what-exactly-is-diracs-delta-function/ by...
