Motion in two dimensions, in a plane can be studied by expressing position, velocity and acceleration as vectors in cartesian co-ordinates A = `A_xhati + A_yhatj` where `hati` and `hatj` are unit vector along x and y directions, respectively and Ax and Ay are corresponding components of (Figure). Motion can also be studied by expressing vectors in circular polar co-ordinates as A = `A_rhatr + A_θhatθ` where `hatr = r/r = cos θhati + sin θj` and `hatθ = - sin θhati + cos θ hatj` are unit vectors along direction in which `r` and `θ` are increasing.
- Express `hati` and `hatj` in terms of `hatr` and `hatθ`
- Show that both `hatr` and `hatθ` are unit vectors and are perpendicular to each other.
- Show that `d/(dt) (hatr) = ωhatθ` where `θ = (dθ)/(dt)` and `d/(dt) (hatθ) = - ωhatr`
