Question
Explain what is meant by Cartesian coordinate system?
Solution 1
At any given instant of time, the frame of reference with respect to which the position of the object is described in terms of position coordinates (x, y, z) is called Cartesian coordinate system.
Solution 2
At any given instant of time, the frame of reference with respect to which the position of the object is described in terms of position coordinates (x, y, z) is called a Cartesian coordinate system.
