Motion in Cylindrical Coordinates

Click For Summary

Homework Help Overview

The discussion revolves around motion in cylindrical coordinates, specifically focusing on the components of acceleration, particularly the second component of \( a_{\theta} \). Participants are attempting to clarify their understanding of the relevant equations and expressions presented in a video resource.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Conceptual clarification, Assumption checking

Approaches and Questions Raised

  • The original poster questions the second component of \( a_{\theta} \) and expresses confusion regarding its formulation. Some participants reference a specific time in a video for clarification, while others discuss potential mistakes in calculations related to a different problem, emphasizing the importance of angle measurement modes.

Discussion Status

Participants are actively engaging with the material, referencing external resources for clarification. There is acknowledgment of mistakes in previous calculations, and some participants are learning new tools like LaTeX to enhance their contributions. However, there is no explicit consensus on the original question regarding \( a_{\theta} \).

Contextual Notes

Some participants mention the need for new problems to be posted in separate threads, indicating a structure for future discussions. There is also a note about the importance of ensuring calculators are set to the correct mode when working with angles.

7:03 what is second component of a(theta)? this -> 2 * r' * (theta)'
I understand everything except that.
 
Physics news on Phys.org
See expression for ##a_{\theta}## at time 1:27 in the video.

See equation (4) here.

There is no explanation at 1:27, but link is good.
Thanks !

In the future, a new problem should be posted in a new thread.

I believe the only mistake you made in your solution for the new problem is that your calculator was in degree mode while your angles are expressed in radians.

I posted it on new thread. Someone merged it.

I will try that.

That would be my fault. I didn't click into the link for his 2nd thread start, thinking it was the same as the original one (which I had locked in a different forum).

Thank you for doing that. It makes it so much easier to read and reply to your calculations when they are in LaTeX. Looking forward to seeing your next thread! :wink:
