Procedure to produce discretized path composed by semi-circle and straigth sub-paths

Computational Physics 2012-01-04 v1

Abstract

Some problems founds in teaching physics related to curved paths that are unfortunately only described as illustration. A simple way to introduce the path is presented, which can help students to test their concept numerically. The procedure is limited into semi-circle and straight sub-paths. Smaller discretizing width Δs\Delta{}s gives better form of the produced path.
