Query 29.1029. Radian measure of angle; angular position, angular velocity

*********************************************

Question: `q001. Note that this assignment contains 15 questions.

If an object moves a distance along the arc of a circle equal to the radius of the circle, it is said to move through one radian of

angle. If a circle has a radius of 40 meters, then how far would you have to walk along the arc of the circle to move through one

radian of angle? How far would you have to walk to move through 3 radians?

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Your solution:

r= 40 meters

40 meters= 1 radian

40 meters * 3 radian= 120meters

confidence rating #$&*2

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

.............................................

Given Solution:

Since 1 radian of angle corresponds to the distance along the arc which is equal to the radius, if the radius of the circle is 40

meters then a 1 radian angle would correspond to a distance of 40 meters along the arc.

An angle of 3 radians would correspond to a distance of 3 * 40 meters = 120 meters along the arc. Each radian corresponds to a

distance of 40 meters along the arc.

STUDENT COMMENT:

ok, I answered '40 m for one radian and 120m for three'

I thought there was some formula and it couldn't be this easy to figure out.

INSTRUCTOR RESPONSE

It really is this easy, and this is the most important thing you need to remember about radian measure.

There are formulas relating arc distance to radian measure (and arc velocity to angular velocity, and acceleration along the arc to

angular acceleration), and they are simple formulas, but they are difficult to keep straight. It's difficult to remember what symbol

goes with what, and when you multiply by r and when you divide, and when there's a 2 pi involved and whether you divide by that or

multiply.

Of course you haven't seen the formulas yet and don't yet know what all that means, but that last paragraph should alert you to one

simple fact:

There's one simple idea at work here, you just used it, you understand it, and if you never lose track of it there are a whole lot of

confusing formulas that will just come down to common sense.

(You'll also want to keep in mind that the circumference of a circle is 2 pi r, but it's assumed that you know this.)

Question: `q002. On a circle of radius 40 meters, how far would you have to walk to go all the way around the circle, and through how

many radians of angle would you therefore travel? Through how many radians would you travel if you walked halfway around the circle?

Through how many radians would you travel if you walked a quarter of the way around the circle?

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Your solution:

c= 2pir

r= 40 meters

c=2pi 40

c=251.33

confidence rating #$&*

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

.............................................

Given Solution:

The circumference of a circle is the product of `pi and its diameter, or in terms of the radius r, which is half the diameter, C = 2

`pi r. The circumference of this circle is therefore 2 `pi * 40 meters = 80 `pi meters.

This distance can be left in this form, which is exact, or if appropriate this distance can be approximated as 80 * 3.14 meters = 251

meters (approx).

The exact distance 2 `pi * 40 meters is 2 `pi times the radius of the circle, so it corresponds to 2 `pi radians of arc.

Half the arc of the circle would correspond to a distance of half the circumference, or to 1/2 ( 80 `pi meters) = 40 `pi meters. This

is `pi times the radius so corresponds to `pi radians of angle.

A quarter of an arc would correspond to half the preceding angle, or `pi/2 radians.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

Self-critique (if necessary):

So 80 pi meters

radian is 40 pi meters = to radius

?????????????????a quarter of the arc would be pi/2 radians so, it would not be 40 pi/2 radians..I dont understand??????????????

A quarter of the arc would be pi/2 radians, so the distance around the arc on this circle would be 40 pi/2 meters.

Be careful not to confuse the distance along the arc, which is measured in meters and which you could actually walk, with the angle, which is measured in radians (if you were standing at the center you could turn through the angle, but you would do that without moving anywhere).

Be careful not to confuse the distance along the arc, which is measured in meters, with the angle, which is measured in radians.

You would have to go 80 pi meters to go around the whole circle, and this corresponds to an anglular displacement of 2 pi radians.

You would only have to go 40 pi meters to get around half the circle, and you would have only half the angular displacement. The previous angular displacement was 2 pi radians, so halfway around would correspond to pi radians.

To go a quarter of the way around you would travel 20 pi meters, and your angular displacement would be pi/2 radians.

Question: `q003. On a circle of radius 6 meters, what distance along the arc would correspond to 3 radians? What distance would

correspond to `pi / 6 radians? What distance would correspond to 4 `pi / 3 radians?

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Your solution:

Radius= 6

radians= 6

r= 6 meters

radians= 6 meters *3 = 18 meters

pi/6= .254

4pi/18=.22pi

confidence rating #$&*2

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

.............................................

Given Solution:

3 radians along the arc would correspond to an arc distance of 3 times the radius, or 3 * 6 meters, or 18 meters.

`pi / 6 radians would correspond to `pi / 6 times the radius, or `pi / 6 * 6 meters = `pi meters.

4 `pi / 3 radians would correspond to 4 `pi / 3 * 6 meters = 8 `pi meters.

STUDENT COMMENT

I'm still not really clear on how to simplify the given equations.

INSTRUCTOR RESPONSE

You got the correct expressions, you just didn't simplify them. It might be that you didn't recognize these as fractional expressions.

You should write these fractions out.

For example a / c * b means 'multiply by a then divide by c, then multiply the result by b'.

So a / c * b means (a / c) * b.

(a/c) can be written as a fraction, with a in the numerator and b in the denominator.

b can also be written as a fraction, with b in the numerator and 1 in the denominator.

So (a / c) * b means (a / c) * (b / 1).

When two fractions are multiplied, their numerators are multiplied, and their denominators are multiplied. So

(a/c) * (b/1) = (a * b) / (c * 1), which simplifies to

a * b / c.

The expression 4 pi / 3 * 6 means (4 pi / 3 ) * 6, which means (4 pi * 6) / 3 = (24 pi / 3).

Since 24 / 3 = 8, the expression (24 pi / 3) reduces to 8 * pi.

pi / 6 * 6 means (pi * 6) / 6, or 6 pi / 6.

Since 6 / 6 = 1, the expression (6 pi / 6) reduces to 1 * pi, or just pi.

so pi/6 * 6 = pi meters

Question: `q004. If you were traveling around a circle of radius 50 meters, and if you traveled through 4 radians in 8 seconds, then

how fast would you have to be moving?

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

your solution:

ds= vave * 'dt

f= 50 meters

radians= 50meters

you travel 4 radians 50/4=12.5

12.5m = radians

12.5m/8s= 1.56m/s

confidence rating #$&*2

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

.............................................

Given Solution:

If you travel 4 radians along the arc you half traveled an arc distance of 4 times the radius, or 4 * 50 meters = 200 meters.

If you traveled this distance in 8 seconds your average speed would be 200 meters / (8 seconds) = 25 m/s.

COMMON STUDENT SOLUTION

50 meters * 4 = 200 meters/8 seconds= 25 m/s

INSTRUCTOR COMMENT

I can see how you've thought this through and your thinking is absolutely correct.

However the first expression 50 meters * 4 is not equal to you last expression 25 m/s. However these expressions are connected by a

chain of equal signs and should therefore be equal (this is called the 'transitive property of multiplication').

What you clearly mean is

50 m * 4 = 200 meters

200 m / (8 sec) = 50 m/s.

Your train of thought it clear and correct. However equal signs should be used only to indicate equality. Confusion can easily result

when equal signs are used to indicate train of thought.

Question: `q005. Traveling at 3 radians / second around a circle of radius 20 meters, how fast would you have to be moving?

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Your solution:

3 radians/s

r= 20 meters

60m/s

confidence rating #$&*2

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

.............................................

Given Solution:

3 radians along the arc is a distance of 3 times the radius, or 3 * 20 meters = 60 meters. Moving at 3 radians/second, then, the

speed along the arc must be 60 meters /sec.

NEARLY CORRECT STUDENT SOLUTION

20 meters * 3 = 60 meters/sec

INSTRUCTOR COMMENT

Your intent is clear and correct.

However the units of your calculation don't work out:

20 meters * 3 = 60 meters, not 60 meters / second.

What you know is that every second the object moves through an angular displacement of 3 radians, which on a circle of 20 m radius

implies an arc distance of 60 meters. We conclude that the speed along the arc is 60 m/s.

The problem with the notation can be fixed up as follows:

1 radian of angle corresponds to a distance equal to the radius. The units of this calculation could be expressed as

1 meter of radius * 1 radian of angle = 1 meter of arc distance.

We can abbreviate this as

1 meter * 1 radian = 1 meter,

understanding that the meter on the left corresponds to a meter of radius, while the meter on the right corresponds to 1 meter of arc

distance.

Then our calculation becomes

20 meters * 3 radians / second = (20 meters * 3 radians) / second = 60 meters / second,

where we understand that the 20 meters on the left stands for radius and the 60 meters on the right stands for arc distance.

Question: `q009. If you know the speed of an object along the arc of a circle and you know the radius of the circle, how do you find

Your solution:

know:

v radius

radius= radians

ds= radian * radius

ds= vave * 'dt

confidence rating #$&*2

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

.............................................

Given Solution:

The speed of the object is the distance it travels along the arc per unit of time. The angular velocity is the number of radians

through which the object travels per unit of time. The distance traveled and the number radians are related by the fact that the

distance is equal to the number of radians multiplied by the radius. So if the distance traveled in a unit of time is divided by the

radius, we get the number of radians in a unit of time. So the angular speed is found by dividing the speed along the arc by the

radius.

STUDENT ANSWER:

change in radians (distance) /time

INSTRUCTOR RESPONSE

Right idea; one small correction:

the denominator should be change in clock time, or time interval, not just 'time'

The angular speed on an interval is the angular distance during that interval (which you clearly indicated as 'change in radians

(distance)', divided by change in clock time or time interval.

Question: `q010. We usually let `d`theta stand for the angular displacement in radians between two points on the arc of the circle.

We usually let `omega stand for the angular velocity in radians / second. We let `ds stand for the distance traveled along the arc of

a circle, and we let r stand for the radius of the circle. If we know the radius r and the arc distance `ds, what is the angular

displacement `d`theta, in radians?

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Your solution:

d'theta = angu;ar ds

omega= angular velocity r/s

'ds= distance

r= radisu

know

r and ds

ds= radians * radius

ds/radius= radians (d'theta)

confidence rating #$&* 2

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

.............................................

Given Solution:

Since an angular displacement of 1 radian corresponds to an arc distance equal to the radius, the angular displacement `theta in

radians is equal to the number of radii in the arc distance `ds. This quantity is easily found by dividing the arc distance by the

radius. Thus

`d`theta = `ds / r.

STUDENT QUESTION:

Omega (velocity in radians/second)/ radius = angular speed= angular displacement/time

'(velocity in radians / second) / radius' implies that you divide the number of radians by the radius to get the angular displacement,

when in fact you would divide the angular displacement by the radius to get the number of radians.

`d`theta = `ds / r

I'm getting confused by this now.

INSTRUCTOR RESPONSE

The angle (number of radians) corresponding to an arc distance is found by dividing arc distance by radius. As you say:

`dTheta = `ds / r.

That is, angular displacement is arc displacement divided by radius.

So if you know the arc displacement during a certain time interval, the angular displacement during that same interval is found by

dividing the arc displacement by the radius.

Thus angular displacement per unit of time is equal to arc displacement per unit of time, divided by radius:

omega = v / r.

Rule of thumb: If it's along the arc you divide by the radius to get the angular quantity; if it involves angle you multiply by radius

to get the arc quantity. This follows directly from the reasoning you used in the very first problem of this document.

Applying the rule of thumb:

v is along the arc, omega involves angle. We divide arc displacement by radius to get angle in radians. More specifically:

v is velocity along the arc, so v / r involves (among other things) dividing an arc displacement by radius. The result is an angular

displacement.

The angular velocity is the number of radians per second. The velocity is the distance traveled per second along the arc. Since an

Question: `q012. We can change an angle in degrees to radians, or vice versa, by recalling that a complete circle consists of 360

degrees or 2 `pi radians. A half-circle is 180 degrees or `pi radians, so 180 degrees = `pi radians. How many radians does it take

to make 30 degrees, how many to make 45 degrees, and how many to make 60 degrees?

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Your solution:

Given Solution:

30 degrees is 1/6 of 180 degrees and therefore corresponds to 1/6 * `pi radians, usually written as `pi/6 radians.

45 degrees is 1/4 of 180 degrees and therefore corresponds to 1/4 * `pi radians, or `pi/4 radians.
