SUMMARY

The discussion revolves around solving a physics exercise involving a particle P moving with constant speed v along the X-axis in a rotating reference frame O'. The participant initially attempts to describe the movement and seeks clarification on whether to find the velocity and acceleration vectors. The consensus emphasizes the necessity of differentiating the position function to obtain these vectors and highlights the importance of considering Coriolis and centrifugal accelerations in the analysis.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of classical mechanics, particularly motion in rotating reference frames.
  • Familiarity with differentiation techniques in calculus.
  • Knowledge of Coriolis and centrifugal forces in physics.
  • Basic concepts of angular velocity and its effects on linear motion.
NEXT STEPS
  • Study the mathematical formulation of Coriolis and centrifugal acceleration in rotating frames.
  • Learn how to differentiate position functions to derive velocity and acceleration vectors.
  • Explore examples of particle motion in non-inertial reference frames.
  • Review angular velocity and its impact on linear motion in physics.
USEFUL FOR

Students of physics, educators teaching classical mechanics, and anyone interested in understanding motion in rotating reference frames.

Hello.

I have the following exercise, and I would like you to say to me if I have it right and how to proceed:

"A particle P moves with constant speed v along the X axis of a reference system O, being x0 = 0 the position in t = 0. Describe the movement on another system O' with the same origin of coordinates and rotating with angular velocity constant ω in the sense clockwise."

I have tried to solve as follows:

So far, is my point correct?

Now, I had thought find the acceleration:

Is it correct?

Thank you!

Why don't you just differentiate again?
But I'm not sure what the question is asking for. Isn't your expression for r' an adequate description? Do you need to find the velocity and acceleration vectors?

Eventually I realized I could differentiate again. I believed that in this case I need to apply Coriolis and centrifugal acceleration, but I was reading and saw that could also solve in this way a moment ago.
