Question

The coordinates of an object moving in the xy plane vary with time according to the equations x =-8.82 sin cor and y (a) Determine the components of velocity of the object at t-0. (Use the following as necessary:6.) 4.00-8.82 cos where is a constant, x and y are in meters, and t is in seconds. m/s (b) Determine the components of the acceleration of the object at t0. (Use the following as necessary: .) mys c Write expressions or the position vector, the velocity vector, and the acceleration vector of the object at any t me t > 0 se the following as necessary: o ega or and t (d) Describe the path of the object in an xy plot.

Explanation / Answer

B)

v and a are the 1st and 2nd derivatives of position.
Position = (-8.82*sint, 4-8.82*cost) m
1st deriv. v = (-8.82**cost, +8.82**sint) m/s
2nd deriv. a = (+8.82*^2*sint, +8.82*^2*cost) m/s^2

A)

Just evaluate above for t=0; cos functions will be 1 and sin functions 0.
p = (0, -4.82) m
v = (-8.82, 0) m/s
a = (0, 8.82^2) m/s^2

C)

The path is clockwise around a circle of radius 8.82 m centered at (0,4) m, starting at the lowermost point on the circle.
