Prove the general formula L29.
Find the family of orthogonal trajectories of the circles . (See the instructions above Problem 2.31.)
The speed of a particle on the x axis, , is always numerically equal to the square root of its displacement x. If when , find x as a function of t. Show that the given conditions are satisfied if the particle remains at the origin for any arbitrary length of time and then moves away; find x for for this case.
Find the orthogonal trajectories of each of the following families of curves. In each case, sketch or computer plot several of the given curves and several of their orthogonal trajectories. Be careful to eliminate the constant from for the original curves; this constant takes different values for different curves of the original family, and you want an expression for which is valid for all curves of the family crossed by the orthogonal trajectory you are trying to find. See equations to
. (Assume that n is a given number; the different curves of the family have different values of k.)
Using Problems 29 and 31b show that equation (6.24) is correct.
