Determining an object's velocity in cylindrical coordinates
I got the answer for velocity and acceleration. But I don't know how to draw the shape of the particle's motion over time. How to draw it? should we change a,b,c,e into a numbers or not? or we may not to change a,b,c,e? Please help me how to draw the shape of particle's motion over time?- Marcis231
