Video Discussion: Introduction to Circular Motion and Arc Length


Recommended Posts

Name: Introduction to Circular Motion and Arc Length
Category: Rotational Motion
Date Added: 2017-05-30
Submitter: Flipping Physics

Cartesian and polar coordinates are introduced and how to switch from one to the other is derived. The concept of angular displacement and arc length are demonstrated. Circumference is shown to be an arc length. Want Lecture Notes? This is an AP Physics 1 topic.
