Curvilinear abscissa = radius * angle - Circular motion












0












$begingroup$


I would like to understand why:



$$ s(t) = r , theta(t) $$



where $s$ is the curvilinear abscissa, $r$ the radius and $theta$ the angle in circular motion.



Thank you for your time.

    It is just how the planar angle $theta$ is defined and measured. It is the ratio of the arc-length to the radius of a circle.
