Initially, a bicycle is at the position 7 = (130 m)i + (210 m)j. After 120 s, the position of the particle is 7 = (110 m)i + (240 m)j . What is the average velocity vector of the bicycle in that time
||
tinterval?
O Tav = (0.17 m/s)i + (-0.25 m/s)j
O Jay = (0.25 m/s)i + (-0.17 m/s)
O Tay = (-0.25 m/s)î + (0.17 m/s)
O Jay = (-0.17 m/s)i + (0.25 m/s)j
The velocity vector of a particle is given by:
V = Vje-)[sin(wt)i + cos(wt)j]
where, Vo = 12.1 m/s; T = 2.5 s; w = 5.2 rad/s
Calculate the magnitude of the acceleration (in m/s2) at t = 7.4 s
A particle moves through 3-space in such a way that its acceleration is
a(t)= 8sin 2ri +8cos 2tj+e'k .
where t is time measured in seconds. The initial velocity of the particle is v, =
2i – 3j+k.
At time t = t , find
i)
the velocity vector of the particle.
ii)
the scalar tangential and normal components of acceleration.
