## Statement

difficulty
A body moves describing a circular trajectory with constant linear and angular velocity equal to 3 m/s and 6π rad/s respectively. Determine its position vector when it has traveled exactly one meter.

## Solution

Data

v = 3 m/s

Resolution

If we apply the definitions of the angular magnitudes, we know that:

Now applying the definition of distance traveled based on the angular position and the radius:

Now that we know the radius and the angular position when the distance traveled is 1 m, we can determine the position vector using the following expression:
