Homework Statement


running on a circular track w/ radius of .450 km and runs a distance of 2.54 km. what is the angular distance in radians.


Homework Equations


theta = s/r


The Attempt at a Solution


I assume the 2.54 km would be the arc length? so would the answer just be 2.54/.450 = 5.65 rad?
