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: |

Famous quotes containing the words general and/or motion:
“As a general rule, do not kick the shins of the opposite gentleman under the table, if personally unaquainted with him; your pleasantry is liable to be misunderstooda circumstance at all times unpleasant.”
—Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (18321898)
“till disproportiond sin
Jarrd against natures chime, and with harsh din
Broke the fair musick that all creatures made
To their great Lord, whose love their motion swayd
In perfect Diapason, whilst they stood
In first obedience, and their state of good.”
—John Milton (16081674)
