1. Cylindrical – Polar Coordinates
Writing equations of motion using polar coordinates
Calculating Velocity and Speed Values

2. Applications
Cylindrical coordinates can be used for
3 dimensional motions
In the figure, to calculate the velocity
and the acceleration of the boy, we
should use cylindrical coordinates.

3. Applications
Polar(cylindrical) coordinates can be also used for 2 dimensional motions.
If the motion of the object is on two dimensions and the location from the
center r changes, we should write the equations of motion using polar
coordinates.

5. Velocity on Polar Coordinates :

6. Acceleration on Polar Coordinates:

7. Cylindrical Coordinates on 3d

8. EXAMPLE
