Arc traveled when rotating

Definition

If you observe a circle, its perimeter will be $2\pi r$, with the radius ($r$). If you have a angle variation ($\Delta\theta$), it represents a fraction of the total circumference, given by the expression:

$\displaystyle\frac{\Delta\theta}{2\pi}$



the distance traveled in a time ($\Delta s$) corresponding to the arc under the angle variation ($\Delta\theta$) which can be calculated as this fraction of the total perimeter of the circle:



For these calculations, it is crucial that the angle is expressed in radians.

Equations

If an object is at a distance equal to the radius ($r$) from an axis and rotates by ERROR:6066.1, which with the angle ($\theta$) and the initial Angle ($\theta_0$) is

equation=3680

it will have traveled an arc length the distance traveled in a time ($\Delta s$), which with the position ($s$) and the starting position ($s_0$) is

equation=4352

This arc length can be calculated by multiplying the radius ($r$) by the angle, that is,

equation.

For these calculations, it is crucial that the angle is expressed in radians.

The position the distance traveled in a time ($\Delta s$) in a circular motion can be calculated from the angle variation ($\Delta\theta$) and the radius ($r$) of the orbit using the following formula:
