Important Setup Notes:
- N/A
Setup and Procedure:
- Using the model unit vectors, explain how a 3D Cartesian coordinate system works.
Cautions, Warnings, or Safety Concerns:
- N/A
Discussion:
The Cartesian coordinate system is widely used in physics and engineering. The spherical and cylindrical coordinate systems are usually based off of the Cartesian unit vectors.
