Answer to Problem 9.24P

The orbits of the puck on a rotating turntable with x0=Ω=1 and the initial velocity v0=(0,1) are plotted.

Explanation of Solution

Write the expression for the general equation for the position of the puck,

    x(t)=(x0+vx0t)cosΩt+(vy0+Ωx0)tsinΩty(t)=(x0+vx0t)sinΩt+(vy0+Ωx0)tcosΩt        (I)

Here, x(t),y(t) are the position of the puck in the x and y direction, vx0,vy0 are the initial velocity in the x and y-direction, x0 is the initial position in x direction, t is the time and Ω is the angular velocity.

In this case, the initial velocity of the puck.

    v0=(0,1)        (II)

So,

    vx0=0        (III)

    vy0=1        (IV)

Conclusion:

Substitute 1 for x0, 1 for Ω, 0 for vx0 and 1 for vy0 in (I),

    x(t)=(1+0)cos(1)t+(1+(1)(1))tsin(1)t=cost+2tsint

    y(t)=(1+0)sin(1)t+(1+(1)(1))tcos(1)t=sint+2tcost

Answer to Problem 9.24P

The orbits of the puck on a rotating turntable with x0=Ω=1 and the initial velocity v0=(0,0) are plotted.

Explanation of Solution

In this case, the initial velocity of the puck.

    v0=(0,0)        (V)

So,

    vx0=0

    vy0=0

Conclusion:

Substitute 1 for x0, 1 for Ω, 0 for vx0 and 0 for vy0 in (I),

    x(t)=(1+0)cos(1)t+(0+(1)(1))tsin(1)t=cost+tsint

    y(t)=(1+0)sin(1)t+(0+(1)(1))tcos(1)t=sint+tcost
