    This document discusses curvilinear motion, which is motion along a curved path. It can be resolved into rectangular components along the x, y, and z axes by relating the motion along each axis to the equation of the curved path. The position of a particle is given by its position vector r, and its velocity is the time derivative of r. Acceleration is obtained by taking the second time derivative of r. A hodograph describes the locus of points for the position vector tip, and velocity is always tangent to the path while acceleration is always tangent to the hodograph. Curvilinear motion can also be analyzed using normal and tangential components or cylindrical coordinates of transverse and radial motion components.

    General Curvilinear Motion Curvilinear Motion: Rectangular Components (x, y & z)


    Curvilinear motion occurs when a particle moves along a curved path. Curvilinear motion along the path can be resolved into rectilinear motion
    along the x, y, & z axes. The equation of the path is used to relate the
    motion along each axis.

    The position of the particle, measured from a fixed point O, will be


    designated by the position vector r = r(t).
    The displacement Δr represents the change in the particle’s position and is
    If the particle is at point (x,y,z) on the curved path s, then its location is
    determined by vector subtraction; i.e., Δr = r’ – r.
    defined by the position vector.
    During the time Δt, the average velocity of the particle is

    At any instant the magnitude of r is defined.

    The first time derivative of r yields the velocity of the particle. Hence

    The acceleration of the particle is obtained by taking the first time derivative of the
    equation of velocity (second time derivative of the equation of the position). We
    have

    A hodograph is a curved of path S that describes the locus of points for the
    arrowhead of the position vector.
    **Velocity is always tangent to the path and acceleration is always
    tangent to the hodograph. ** .

    Curvilinear Motion: Cylindrical Components (Transverse and Radial


    Coordinates)
    If the path of motion is expressed in polar coordinates, then the velocity and
    acceleration components can be related to the time derivatives of r and θ.

    To apply the time-derivative equations, it is necessary to determine

    chain rule of calculus must be used to obtain time derivatives.
    Once the data are substituted into the equations, then the algebraic sign of
    the results will indicate the direction of the components of v or a along each
    axis.
