Acceleration in Cartesian Coordinates

Acceleration in Cartesian Coordinates#

Part 1#

When using Cartesian coordinates for space curvilinear motion the expression for acceleration is

Answer Section#

  • \({\bf{a}} = \ddot{x}{\bf{i}} + \ddot{y}{\bf{j}} + \ddot{z}{\bf{k}}\)

  • \({\bf{a}} = \ddot{z}{\bf{i}} + \ddot{x}{\bf{j}} + \ddot{y}{\bf{k}}\)

  • \({\bf{a}} = \dot{y}.\dot{z}{\bf{i}} + \dot{z}.\dot{x}{\bf{j}} + \dot{x}.\dot{y}{\bf{k}}\)

  • \({\bf{a}} = \ddot{x}^2{\bf{i}} + \ddot{y}^2{\bf{j}} + \ddot{z}^2{\bf{k}}\)
