Homework Statement
I don't understand why when we derive the velocity equation of motion in polar coordinates we start with position equal to R times R hat and not (theta times theta hat + R times R hat).
Homework Equations
none really..
The Attempt at a Solution
Is there an assumption I'm missing? or is it simply differentiating linear and angular velocity that is messing me up?
