angular position is
Excerpt |
---|
the The angular coordinate of a location in polar coordinates, generally represented by the small Greek letter theta, θ . |
Although angular position is not a vector (the polar coordinate r contains the vector information), the time derivatives of the angular position, the angular velocity and the angular acceleration, are vectors, and are specified by both magnitude and direction. The
angular position has only positive or negative magnitude. The usual convention is to measure
the angle positive angles counterclockwise
positive from the x-axis
, in either degrees or radians.and negative angles clockwise.Image Added
