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:
“The General Strike has taught the working class more in four days than years of talking could have done.”
—A.J. (Arthur James)
“We must not suppose that, because a man is a rational animal, he will, therefore, always act rationally; or, because he has such or such a predominant passion, that he will act invariably and consequentially in pursuit of it. No, we are complicated machines; and though we have one main spring that gives motion to the whole, we have an infinity of little wheels, which, in their turns, retard, precipitate, and sometime stop that motion.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
