Parametric Equations
• It is often easier to express both x and y as a function of another variable (such as the time t or an angle ) instead of writing y in terms of x.
• This new variable is called a parameter and these are called parametric equations.
• Can be thought of as a map:

Example: Projectile motion
• We can express y in terms of x by eliminating t from these equations, giving
• However, the parametric equations are cleaner and much more informative.

Example: Circular Motion
• Consider a particle moving counterclockwise around a circle or radius r centered around the origin at constant speed.

Arclength with Parametric Equations
• If we have function x(t), y(t), the length of the segment from t to t+dt is
• More generally,

Area with Parametric Equations
• Area under a curve can also be done with parametric equations
• Example: What is the area under the curve described by , from to ?

Curvature
• The curvature of a curve is 1 divided by the radius of the circle which best approximates it at that point.
Recall the equations for circular motion: , and
• For a circle of radius R, (directed towards the center of the circle)

Curvature Cont.
• For a circle, so • In general, we want to take the component of
the acceleration which is perpendicular to the velocity and divide it by

Curvature of a curve
• In the special case where we have a curve , taking , , ,
