7.1 Angular Measure The position of an object can be described using polar coordinates— r and θ— rather than x and y. The figure at left gives the conversion between the two descriptions. © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc.

7.1 Angular Measure r is a distance that extends from the origin. r is the same for any point on a given circle. (like the radius!) Θ is an angle, and it changes with time. Linear Displacement…how do we calculate? Angular Displacement is VERY similar

7.1 Angular Measure Δθ = θ - θ i The unit for angular displacement is the degree. There are 360 degrees in one complete circle.

7.1 Angular Measure The arc length, s, is the distance that is traveled along the circular path. The θ is said to define the arc length. It is most convenient to measure the angle θ in radians.

7.3 Uniform Circular Motion and Centripetal Acceleration What is uniform motion? What is uniform circular motion?

7.3 Uniform Circular Motion and Centripetal Acceleration A careful look at the change in the velocity vector of an object moving in a circle at constant speed shows that the acceleration is toward the center of the circle. © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc.

7.3 Uniform Circular Motion and Centripetal Acceleration The acceleration in uniform circular motion is called centripetal acceleration. Centripetal means “center-seeking.” Centripetal acceleration is directed inward or “into” the circle. The tangential velocity is perpendicular to the centripetal acceleration.
