Alyanna Lopez ANAGEOM EK Polar coordinates is defined as pair of coordinates locating the position of a point in a plane, the first being the length of the straight line (r) connecting the point of reference to the particular point you are locating and second being the angle (θ). It is another way of locating points along a plane using radius (r) and theta (θ) instead of using coordinates x and y. One practical application of the polar coordinates is studying the motions of the human body. This is because the human body utilizes pivotal joint movements. In learning about the topic of polar coordinates, I thought about some applications of which it would be useful. Through watching lots of movies like Battle Ship, Transformers, and a lot more sci-fi movies; I saw a lot of radars and mapping devices that seems to run in the polar coordinate system. Using this mathematical model, bodies that are moving in within a central axis or orbiting in a central point works on a polar coordinate system. Polar coordinates are important and are useful in the following applications that this would be discussing. One practical application of the polar coordinates is studying the motions of the human body. This is because the human body utilizes pivotal joint movements and since pivotal movements progresses circularly it can be mapped using polar coordinates. Polar coordinates can also be used in navigation devices as the destination or direction of travel can be given as an angle and distance from the object being considered. These navigation devices are commonly used by the military, the navy, and air force. A concrete example would be an aircraft that uses slightly modified polar coordinates for navigation. Also, radial symmetry provides natural settings for the polar coordinate system, with the central point acting on the pole. A concrete example of this theory is the groundwater flow equation when applied to radically symmetric wells. Systems with a radial force are

    12. Latitudes are the angular distance of a point on the earth that are north and south of the equator and run east and west. Parallels are the lines that connect this points running east and west and divide up the earth into equal parts. These lines help show the different climate regions of the earth. The further away from the equator you get, north and south, the colder the climate. Longitude is the angular distance of a point on the earth that is east or west from the prime meridian and runs north and south. A meridian is the line running north and south and the go from the North Pole to the South Pole. These lines converge on the poles.…

    In engineering in particular, it is used to relate position, velocity and acceleration etc. Electrical engineers apply the principles of calculus to determine the length of electrical wire needed to hang wire in a curved, catenary pattern between two hydro towers. When roads are constructed, particularly any with a curve or turn, engineers must take into account the slope of the curve, it’s possible tangents and the potential speed of vehicles as they travel around the curve to ensure safe speed limits are posted and the road is built with the safest conditions in mind.…
