List of Equations in Classical Mechanics - 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:

    There is a mortifying experience in particular, which does not fail to wreak itself also in the general history; I mean “the foolish face of praise,” the forced smile which we put on in company where we do not feel at ease, in answer to conversation which does not interest us. The muscles, not spontaneously moved but moved, by a low usurping wilfulness, grow tight about the outline of the face, with the most disagreeable sensation.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    in the mind of man,
    A motion and a spirit, that impels
    All thinking things, all objects of all thought,
    And rolls through all things.
    William Wordsworth (1770–1850)
