I'm trying to learn some physics on my own, using the internet as my main source of information.
Now, I'm a bit confused about some terminology, and I can't find anything about it...
Distance vs displacement in rotational kinematics!
Is there a similar difference as in linear kinematics?
If a wheel turns 2.5 revolutions, would it be:
distance = 2.5 rev
displacement = 0.5 rev
Thank you for your help
