Dynamics: Transverse and Radial Components of Velocity and Acceleration

Описание к видео Dynamics: Transverse and Radial Components of Velocity and Acceleration

In this video, we introduce breaking down Position, Velocity, and Acceleration into components based on the Polar coordinate system (uses r and theta rather than x and y). The two axes that we use to break these vectors into two components are called the Transverse and Radial axes.

This coordinate system is also referred to as the "cylindrical" coordinate system if we include a "z" coordinate to measure the elevation of the target object as well. Here however, we only take a look at 2D, which means "r" and "theta" (without "z")
