Question
A golf ball is hit off a tee at the edge of a cliff. Its x and y coordinates as functions of time are given
by the following expressions:
x = (18.0 m/s)t
y = (4.00 m/s)t – (4.90 m/s²)t²
(a) Express the position of the ball as function of time in terms of unit vectors.
(b) In terms of unit vectors, calculate for the position, velocity, and acceleration of the golf ball
at t = 3.00 s.
