The acceleration of a particle moving only on a horizontalxyplane is given by a⃗=3ti^+4tj^ , where a⃗ is in meters per second squared and tis in seconds. At t=0 , the position vector r⃗=(20.0m)i^+(40.0m)j^ locates the particle, which then has the velocity vector v⃗=(5.00m/s)i^+(2.00m/s)j^ . At t=4.00s, what are (a) its position vector in unit-vector notation and (b) the angle between its direction of travel and the positive direction of the xaxis.

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) Position vector of particle in its unit-vector notation

r⃗(t=4.00s)=(72.0m)i^+(90.7m)j^

(b) The angle between its direction of travel and the positive direction of x axis is49.5o .

Step by step solution

01

Given onformation

It is given that,

i Acceleration of particles in xy plane is given by a⃗=(3t)i^+(4t)j^where a⃗in m/s2& t in s.

ii The position vector of particle is r⃗=(20.0)i^+(40.0)j^at time t=0 s

iii Velocity vector v⃗ of particle is v⃗=(5.0)i^+(2.0)j^at timet=0 s

To understand the concept

This problem deals with the indefinite integral which is commonly applied in problems involving distance, velocity, and acceleration, with respect to time. With this operation, the velocity vector and the position vector can be found. Applying integration over acceleration, the velocity vector can be found. Similarly, the position vector can be expressed in a unit vector notation by integrating the velocity with respect to time. Using the standard formula for the direction, the angle between the direction of travel and the positive direction of x can be found.

Formula:

The velocity is given by,

v→=v0→+∫0ta⇶Ädt(i)

The position vector is given by,

r→=r0→+∫0tv⇶Ädt(ii)

The angle can be written as,

θ=tan-1v⇶Äyvx⇶Ä(iii)

(a) To find the position vector of particle

It is given that,

a⃗=(3t)i^+(4t)j^

Substituting the above value in equation (i),

v⇶Ä=v⇶Ä0+∫0ta→dtv⇶Ä=5.0i^+2.0j^+∫0t3ti^+4tj^dtv⇶Ä=(5.00+3t2/2)i^+(2.00+2t2)j^

Substituting the value of vâ‡¶Ä in equation (ii), the position vector will be,

r⇶Ä=20.0i^+40.0j^+∫0t5.00+3t22i^+2.00+2t2j^dtr⇶Ä=20.0+5.00t+t32i^+40.0+2.00t+2t33j^

Therefore, position vector at time is,t=4.00s

r⇶Ä=(72.0m)i^+(90.7m)j^

04

(b) Determining the angle between its direction of travel and the positive direction of x axis

It is given that,

v⇶Ät=4.00s=29.0m/si^+34.0j^

Hence,
θ=tan-134.029.0θ=49.5∘
