"Give an example of a situation in which you would describe an object's position in (a) one-dimension coordinates (b) two-dimension coordinates (c) three-dimension coordinates"

Solution
(a) One dimension example: a man walking along a metal plank. We just need to specify one coordinate, the distance from the beginning of the plank.

(b) Two-dimension example: a ball moving on a circle. In this case, we need two coordinates: (x,y) to specify the position of the ball at every instant, since it is moving on a 2-D plane.

(c) The position of an airplane in the air: in this case we need 3 coordinates, the height, the latitude and the longitude of the airplane.
