Another common coordinate system that we use for curvilinear motion is cylindrical coordinates. This video especially covers polar coordinates which is one method to analyze curvilinear motion.
The study of such motion involves the use of two coordinate systems, the first being planar motion and the latter being cylindrical motion. Here are two quotes relating state of motion and coordinate system. This problem is pretty straightforward, but its different because the whole equation. In this case, we use a polar coordinates are in theta to describe the projection of the motion of point p in the xy. This problem is straight forward, but there you can easily make mistakes on the way, such as.

Ppt curvilinear motion powerpoint presentation free to. In this problem we find the normal forces of a particle that is experiencing curvilinear motion. And so this is what the velocity and acceleration look like. Since the motion is often threedimensional, vectors are used to describe the motion. The name curvilinear coordinates, coined by the french mathematician lame, derives from the fact that the coordinate surfaces of the curvilinear systems are curved.
We consider below some motion examples in which the position vector is referred to a fixed cartesian coordinate system. The study of such motion involves the use of two such coordinate systems with the first being planar motion and the latter being cylindrical motion. Circular and curvilinear motions here we consider particles moving not along a straight line the curvilinear motion. Well first look at an example then develop the formula for the general case. Applications continueda polar coordinate system is a 2d representation of thecylindrical coordinate system. Treating bodies as particles is, of course, an idealization which involves an approximation.
