Homework Statement
Two people start at the same place and walk around a circular lake in opposite directions. One has an angular speed of 1.7*10-3 rad/s, while the other has an angular speed of 3.4*10-3 rad/s. How long will it be before they meet?
Homework Equations
w=[tex]\theta[/tex]/Delta t
*v=vo+at ~ w=wo+[tex]\omega[/tex]t
*v2=vo2+2ax ~ w2=wo2+2[tex]\omega[/tex][tex]\theta[/tex]
*x=vot+(1/2)at2 ~ [tex]\theta[/tex]=wot+(1/2)at2
the ones with * means i changed it to what the problem is about. means the same thing just different letters so you won't get confused i guess.
The Attempt at a Solution
how do you set that up in the problem i gave because there's no value that is for rad/s. or is that omega? you plug that in there? because the seconds are supposed to be squared. I am so lost. i just learned this today too. its great. please help!
thank you!
