- bernulli 6y agoOh interesting, I’ll need to look into where that discrepancy comes from!
- bernulli 6y agoOk, omega * R is what I referred to as tangential velocity, you’re right. I don’t know if that’s a useful way to look at it, though. It’s like saying “if I just made my car tires a mile in diameter, geez, I could be so much faster!”
