Linear-rotational Analogs - General Planar Motion

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.

Kinematics Dynamics
Position

Velocity
Momentum

Angular momenta

Acceleration
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:

Famous quotes containing the words general and/or motion:

    At that,
    his small size,
    keen eyes,
    serviceable beak
    and general truculence
    assure his survival—
    William Carlos Williams (1883–1963)

    I have seen in this revolution a circular motion of the sovereign power through two usurpers, father and son, to the late King to this his son. For ... it moved from King Charles I to the Long Parliament; from thence to the Rump; from the Rump to Oliver Cromwell; and then back again from Richard Cromwell to the Rump; then to the Long Parliament; and thence to King Charles, where long may it remain.
    Thomas Hobbes (1579–1688)
