Equations of Motion: Cylindrical Coordinates
Learning Goal:
To be able to analyze the motion of a particle using the equations of motion in cylindrical coordinates.
Cylindrical, or polar, coordinates are useful for describing the motion of particles that involve angular positions and radial distances. When the forces acting on a
particle are along the unit vectors , , and , the scalar equations of motion are
where is the particle's mass and , , and are the accelerations in the r (radial), (transverse), and z directions, respectively. If the particle only moves in
the r plane, then only the first two equations are used to describe the motion.
Part A
A particle P moves along a curve. Its position is described by the three cylindrical coordinates: r, , and z. Although the components of the velocity and
acceleration (in rectangular coordinates) are the first and second time derivatives of the rectangular coordinates x, y, and z, this is not the case in cylindrical
coordinates. Match the appropriate component equations to the appropriate targets to complete the equations for the position vector, , the velocity vector, ,
and the acceleration vector, . The terms , , and are the unit vectors in the r, , and z directions, respectively. The terms , , and are the first time
derivatives of , , and , respectively. The terms , , and are the second time derivatives of , , and , respectively.
Drag the appropriate labels to their respective targets.
