Motion in two dimensions, in a plane can be studied by expressing position, velocity and acceleration as vector in Cartesian co-ordinates ` vecA=A_(x) hati+A_(y) hatj` where `hati` and `hatj` are unit vectors along x and y directions. respectively and `A_(x)` and `A_(y)` are corresponding components of `vecA` (shown in the figure).Motion can also be studied by expressing vector in circular polar co-ordinates as `vecA=A_(r) hatr+A_(theta) hattheta` where `hatr = vecr/r =costheta hati+sintheta hatj` and `hattheta=-sintheta hati+costheta hatj` are unit vectors along dirction in which 'r' and `'theta'` are increasing.
Express `hati` and `hatj` in terms of `hatr` and `hattheta`.
