The angle between r and the postve x-axs s θ. As the pont P oves around the crcle the angle θ changes whle r reans constant. Thus θ serves as a coordnate to descrbe the rotatonal poston of a partcle. The angle s related to the dsplaceent (arc length) s, through the relaton srθ Here the unt of θ s radan wth o 360 rad. π 57.3 o
