| Aug 2, 2018 at 2:58 | comment | added | uhoh | @DavidWhite No it does not look suspect to me at least. Without it there could be no velocity in the theta direction. I wonder if another (or perhaps better) name for $d\mathbf{\hat{r}}(\theta)/dt$ is just $\mathbf{\hat{\theta}} d\theta /dt$ or something similar? | |

| Aug 2, 2018 at 2:15 | comment | added | David White | r^(θ) is a unit vector that gives you the direction of the vector, and r gives the magnitude. I don't know of a reason to include the time derivative of the direction, so the second part of your velocity equation looks very suspect. | |
