. A squirrel has x- and y-coordinates (1.1 m, 3.4 m) at time t, = 0 and coordinates (5.3 m,
-0.5 m) at t, = 3.0 s. For this time interval, find (a) the components of the average
velocity, and (b) the magnitude and direction of the average velocity.
The particle travels along the path defined by the parabola y = 0.5x^2. If the component of velocity along the x axis is vx = (5t) ft/s, where t is in seconds, determine the particle's magnitude of its acceleration when t = 1 s. When t = 0, x = 0, y = 0.
