I am given the coordinates of the center of mass of a particle $(x_G,y_G)$ with respect to time $t$, I want to plot a graph the shows the change in the position of the particle with respect to time. The first variable is the time $t$, I have thought about taking the second variable to be $\sqrt{x_G^2 + y_G^2}$.

Is this a good idea? Or how can we detect the position better?

  • If you want to plot the position you should plot the points $(x_G(t), y_G(t))$, which give you the position of the center of mass of the particle for each $t$. – Javi Jun 24 '18 at 15:03
  • @Javi. Can I plot a curve considering 3 variables? – 2007 Jun 24 '18 at 15:11
  • It's actually one if $x$ and $y$ ar functions of $t$. The trajectory is supposed to be a curve – Javi Jun 24 '18 at 20:11
