Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Radial Coordinate
Radial Coordinate for an object refers to the coordinate of the object that moves in radial direction from a point of origin.
Symbol: r
Measurement: LengthUnit: m
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Archimedes' constant
Archimedes' constant is a mathematical constant that represents the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter.
Symbol: π
Value: 3.14159265358979323846264338327950288
ln
The natural logarithm, also known as the logarithm to the base e, is the inverse function of the natural exponential function.
