KINEMATICS OF PARTICLE
Curvilinear motion
What you will learn?
3
• Magnitude of velocity at any point can be arbitrary
• Acceleration is neither tangent nor normal to the path
• Normal component of acceleration always points toward the center of curvature
Plane curvilinear motion
• Velocity must always be tangent to the
curvature and in the direction of motion
Equivalent

tA = 0 s

Same as rectilinear
motion
• (n,t) axis origin is located at the particle
• t‐axis => tangent to curve, along v direction
• n‐axis => normal to t‐axis, inwards of curvature

• (r, θ) axis origin is located somewhere from the particle
• r‐axis => from origin in radial direction to the particle
• θ‐axis => normal to r‐axis, positive along positive theta
