Coordinate Systems in Classical Mechanics

  • The Cartesian coordinate system is commonly used in classical mechanics.

Vectors in Cartesian Coordinate System

  • The unit vectors in the Cartesian coordinate system are called i, j, and k.
  • A vector can be represented in the Cartesian coordinate system using the notation: r = xi + yj + zk.
  • The components of a vector associated with the Cartesian coordinate system are its x, y, and z components.
  • The components of a vector change with the basis in the Cartesian coordinate system.
