2.5 Equations of Motion: Normal and Tangential Coordinates
Today’s Objectives:
Students will be able to apply
the equation of motion using
normal and tangential In-Class Activities:
coordinates. • Applications
• Equation of motion in n-t
coordinates
APPLICATIONS
Here Ft & Fn are the sums of the force components acting in
the t & n directions, respectively.
This vector equation will be satisfied provided the individual
components on each side of the equation are equal, resulting in
the two scalar equations: Ft = mat and Fn = man .
Since there is no motion in the binormal (b) direction, we can also
write Fb = 0.
