The document discusses the definition of position vectors. It explains that the position of a point P is defined as the vector from the origin O of a reference coordinate system to point P. This models how an observer determines an object's location based on its distance and angular orientation relative to the observer's fixed point of view. For measurements to match observations, the coordinate system must be stationary with respect to the observer so that stationary objects have constant position vectors from their perspective.

Describe and sketch the locus of a point A which moves according to the equations RAx= at cos 2πt, RAy=at sin 2πt, RAz=0.
The physical process involved in observing the position of a point, as shown
implies that the observer is monitoring the two-point location, P and O. looking at both, performing a comparing point P has some location in relation to O-point. In the determination two properties are observed, the distance of O a P (based on the distance of the unit or the grid size of the reference coordinate and the relative angular orientation of the OP line at the coordinate System. These two properties, magnitude and direction, are precisely the necessary for a vector. Therefore, we define the position of a point as the vector from the origin of a reference coordinate system for the point. We chose the symbol to denote the vector position of point P in relation to point O. Therefore, the reference coordinate system is in a special way concept of observer in particular of what he sees. What's the relationship? What it must have this coordinate system to ensure that the my- Will the ments made with respect to her really represent your observations? The key to this relationship is that the coordinate system is stationary with respect to this Observer. In other words, the observer considers himself to be a your chosen coordinate system. If he moves. already sea through a distance OR rotating, its coordinate system moves with it. In this way makes sure that the objects that seem stationary with respect to it, that is, as it looks through your eyes, don't change your positions within your coordinate system and their position vectors remain constant. Points you observe as movement have changing position vectors.
