Question







**********HINT**********


Do you see that the equations for constant acceleration (Chapter 2) can be applied to the motion parallel to the xaxis? At the instant that the particle reaches its maximum xcoordinate, what is the xcomponent of its velocity?

A particle leaves the origin with an initial velocity and a constant acceleration . When the particle reaches its maximum x coordinate, what are (a) its velocity, (b) its position vector? **********HINT********** Do you see that the equations for constant acceleration (Chapter 2) can be applied to the motion parallel to the xaxis?

Explanation / Answer

the particle will stop in x direction when its velocity is zero in same
applying for x direction
2ax = v^2-u^2

time elapsed during this period could be found by applying for x direction
v =u +at

now time is same for retardation in both direction hence y coordinate for max x
is given by y =ut + 1/2 at^2 for y direction u=0
