Angular Distance

Definition

Angular distance measures the total amount of rotation covered by an object, usually measured in degrees or radians.

Think about running on a track. The angular distance would be the total number of laps you complete around the track.

Arc Length: Arc length represents the actual distance traveled along a curved path during rotation.

Revolutions per Minute (RPM): RPM measures how many complete rotations occur in one minute.

Displacement Angle: Displacement angle refers to the change in angular position between two points during rotation.
