It is a complex subject; in fact it's probably the most complex of the physical sciences. Even fairly simple physical systems can have very complicated solutions, and some subjects, such as fluid turbulence, are a long way from being well understood. The study of fluid flow is of great importance in fields like chemical engineering and meteorology.

The acceleration due to gravity \(g\) at the surface of the Earth varies over the surface of the Earth for a number of reasons: Also, the Earth has an equatorial bulge due to its rotation, so that you're farther from the center of the Earth near the equator.

Such kind of motion happens a lot, but there is a second common class as well: rotational motion. It won’t come as a surprise that to describe rotational motion, polar coordinates (or their 3D counterparts the cylindrical and spherical coordinates) are much handier than Cartesian ones.

These two motions are generally independent of each other.
