Document Summary

Angular kinematics is the other branch of kinematics. Angular motion occurs when all points on an object move in circular paths about the same fixed axis: angular motion is important because most human movements are the result of angular motions of limbs about joints. What is an angle : the term angle is used to refer to the orientation of these lines or planes to each other. An angle (theta, ) is formed by the intersection of two lines, two planes, or a line and a plane. The most known variable for angles, is degrees () If we wanted to measure the absolute angle of line ab with a horizontal plane, we might imagine a horizontal line bc with the same length as ab. We could then draw a circle using the length of ab as the radius and the point b as the center.
