General Planar Motion
See also: Polar coordinate system (section: vector calculus)The previous equations for planar motion can be used here: corollaries of momentum, angular momentum etc. can immediately follow by applying the above definitions. For any object moving in any path in a plane,
the following general results apply to the particle.

The centripetal force is
where again m is the mass moment, and the coriolis force is The Coriolis acceleration and force can also be written: |

“The most general deficiency in our sort of culture and education is gradually dawning on me: no one learns, no one strives towards, no one teachesenduring loneliness.”

That is their motion ...”
