- Trying to figure out how v=r*w equates to m/s.
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 m/s? The best I can come up with is that we’re just assuming an infinitesimal delta-theta, so we just kinda ignore the “radians” part, but I’m not satisfied with that leap.
