Motion in two dimensions, in a plane can be studied by expressing position, velocity and acceleration as vectors in cartesian co-ordinates $A=A_{x} \hat{i}+A_{y} \hat{j},$ where $\hat{i}$ and $\hat{\jmath}$ are unit vector along $x$ and $y$ - directions, respectively and $A_{x}$ and $A_{y}$ are corresponding components of $A$. Motion can also be studied by expressing vectors in circular polar co-ordinates as $\overrightarrow A \, = \,{A_r}\widehat r\,\, + \,{A_\theta }\hat \theta $ where $\hat{r}=\frac{r}{r}=\cos \theta \hat{i}+\sin \theta \hat{\jmath}$ and $\hat{\theta}=-\sin \theta \hat{i}+\cos \theta \hat{j}$ are unit vectors along direction in which $\hat{r}$ and $\hat{\theta}$ are increasing.
