Hi,
To give some background, I am about to hopefully start 2nd year of high school in telecommunications and I was considering transfering to computer science. But I would also like to start a career or some other job based around physics. How would I go about doing that? Should I start with an...
HI, it is not the first time I ask for advice, but I was very messy in my old posts because I wasn't even sure what I wanted. Now - I think - I finally got a glimpse of what I would like to do, but I would like your opinion whether or not it could be a good "plan".
So here is the deal (I'll...

Hi,
Feels like a simple one but for reason I am stumped.
If I am rotating at 11.2 rad/s, how long will it take to rotate ONE single degree?

Converting 11.2 rad/s into °/s, I get 641.71 °/s. So, this is equivalent to 1.783 rev/s.
At this point, do I divide 1 revolution by how many degrees I...
