Velocity in Cylindrical Coordinates#

Part 1#

When using cylindrical coordinates for space curvilinear motion the expression for velocity is

Answer Section#

  • \({\bf{v}} = \dot{r}{\bf{e_r}} + r\dot{\theta}{\bf{e_{\theta}}} + \dot{z}{\bf{k}}\)

  • \({\bf{v}} = \dot{r}{\bf{e_r}} + r\theta{\bf{e_{\theta}}} + \dot{z}{\bf{k}}\)

  • \({\bf{v}} = \dot{r}{\bf{e_r}} + r\dot{\theta}{\bf{e_{\theta}}} + \dot{r}{\bf{k}}\)

  • \({\bf{v}} = \dot{r}{\bf{e_r}} + r{\bf{e_{\theta}}} + \dot{z}{\bf{k}}\)
