| Sep 1, 2014 at 12:03 | comment | added | garyp | When describing a physical situation it is important to communicate clearly. Otherwise people will be left to guess. (This is too-often a fault in published papers, which makes me wonder if anyone read them prior to publication.) In addition to not specifying the motion of the car, you leave us guessing as to what $\theta$ is. Here it's not a big deal because it's clear from context, and a little work. Contributors here are volunteers; it's good form not to give them extra work in figuring out your meaning. On an exam, you'll get points off. | |
