A particle moves along a circular path over a horizontal xycoordinate system, at constant speed. At time t1=4.00s , it is at point (5.00 m, 6.00 m) with velocity (3.00m/s)i^ and acceleration in the positive xdirection. At time t2=10.0s , it has velocity (-3.00m/s)i^and acceleration in the positive direction. What are the (a) x and (b) y coordinates of the center of the circular path ift2-t1is less than one period?

Short Answer

Expert verified
  1. x coordinate of the center of the circular path x = 8.82 m
  2. y coordinate of the center of the circular path y = 6.00 m

Step by step solution

Given data

  1. The coordinates of a particle at t1isP(5.00m,6.00m)
  2. The velocity of the particle att1isv1=(3.00m/s)j^
  1. The time instance, t2=10.0s
  2. The velocity of the particle at t2isv2=(-3.00m/s)j^

Understanding the concept of circular motion

Using the equation for acceleration, we can find the radius of the circular path. The particle is moving with uniform circular motion. Hence, the magnitude of velocity and acceleration is constant. We sketch the figure as per the given condition. Theparticle covers three-quarters of the circular path. We can find period T and then use the relation between velocity, acceleration, and radius and find the radius of the circular path. From the figure, the coordinates of the center is C (x + r, y).

Formula:

v=rӬӬ=2ττT

03

Calculate the x and y coordinates of the center of the circular path if t2-t1 is less than one period

According to the figure, the particle covers three quarters of the circumference of circle from t1tot2.

Hence, t2-t1is equal to the three quarters of period T.

t2-t1=3T4T=4(t2-t1)3=4(10.0s-4.00s)3=8.00st2-t1<T

The particle is moving in a circular path with uniform circular motion; hence themagnitude of velocity and acceleration remains the same. The magnitude of velocity is v=3.00m/s.

The relation between velocity, acceleration and radius is,

v=rӬv=r2ττTr=vT2ττ=3.00m/s×8.00s2ττ=3.82m

When the particle comes fromt1tot2tothe y coordinates of the particle at the center remains same but x is (x+r, y)

Therefore, the x and y coordinates of the particle at the center is C ( 8.82m ,6.00m) .

Upon spotting an insect on a twig overhanging water, an archer fish squirts water drops at the insect to knock it into the water (Figure). Although the fish sees the insect along a straight-line path at angle ϕand distance d , a drop must be launched at a different angle θ0if its parabolic path is to intersect the insect. Ifϕ=36°and d=0.900m , what launch angle θ0 is required for the drop to be at the top of the parabolic path when it reaches the insect?
