A bird flies in the x-y-plane with a velocity vector given by v=(-t2)i^+tj^withrole="math" localid="1664864418474" =2.4m/s,=1.6m/s3and=4.0m/s2,and. The positive y-direction is vertically upward. At t = 0 the bird is at the origin. (a) Calculate the position and acceleration vectors of the bird as functions of time. (b) What is the bird鈥檚 altitude (y-coordinate) as it flies over x = 0 for the first time after t = 0?

Short Answer

a) The position and acceleration vector as function of time aret+3t3i^+2t2j^ and-2ti^+tj^ respectively.

b) the altitude of bird when it flies first time is

Step by step solution

01

Identification of given data

The given data can be listed below,

  • The velocity vector of the bird is,v=-t2i^+tj^
  • The value of constants are,=2.4m/s,=1.6m/s3,=4.0m/s2
02

Concept/Significance of altitude.

A reference source and a point or objects are separated by a distance known as altitude, which is often measured vertically or "up鈥 direction.

03

(a) Determination of the position and acceleration vectors of the bird as functions of time

The position vector of bird is calculated by integrating the velocity vector which can be given by,

r=0tvtdt

Substitute the value in the above,

role="math" localid="1664865082101" r=0t-t2i^+tj^dt=t-3t3i^+2t2j^

The acceleration of the bird is calculated by differentiating velocity vector with respect to time which can be given by,

a=dvdt

Substitute values of velocity vector in the above,

a=d-t2i^+tj^dt=-2ti^+tj^

Thus, the position and acceleration vector as function of time aret-3t3i^+2t2j^ and-2ti^+tj^ respectively.

04

Step4:(b) Determination of the bird’s altitude (y-coordinate) as it flies over x = 0 for the first time after t = 0

The time at which the the horizontal component is zero is given by,

t-3t3=0t2=3

The altitude of bird is given by,

y=2t2

Substitute all the values in the above,

y=23=32.4m/s4m/s221.6m/s3=9.0m

Thus, the altitude of bird when it flies first time is 9.0 m
