Please help me to prove this

expand the cross products in terms of the regular unit vectors first.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and then ??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Replace x hat with 1 and y hat with i, then rewrite everything in terms of z.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i can't figure out how the next

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Dividing everything by m gives and taking into account that F = 0 and omega is constant yields \[\frac{d^2 \vec{r}}{dt^2} + 2(\vec{\omega}\times \frac{d\vec{r}}{dt}) +\vec{\omega}\times(\vec{\omega}\times \vec{r})= 0\] since \[ \vec{\omega} = \omega \hat{z} \] this gives \[ \frac{d^2 \vec{r}}{dt^2} +2 \omega(-\frac{dy}{dt} \hat{x} + \frac{dx}{dt}\hat{y}) +\omega\hat{z}(\omega z) -\vec{ r}(\omega^2)\] We can lose the second to last term because z = 0 , so \[\frac{d^2 \vec{r}}{dt^2} + 2\omega(- \frac{dy}{dt}\hat{x} + \frac{dx}{dt}\hat{y}) - \omega^2 \vec{r} = 0 \] if i replace the vector r with z = x+iy, and set xhat = 1, yhat = i, this gives me \[ \frac{d^2 z}{dt^2} + 2\omega (i \frac{dx}{dt} - \frac{dy}{dt}) - \omega^2 z = 0\] last but not least, if i factor an i out of the middle term, that gives me \[ \frac{d^2z}{dt^2} + 2i\omega z - \omega^2z = 0 \]

thank you so much @jemurray3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That should be z' in the middle, not z, sorry.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes., i know that should be dz/dt, thank u., wanna help me again? please?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sure
