Step by step solution

01

Given information

It is given that,

r=(2t3-5t)i^+(6-7t4)j^

02

Understanding the concept

This problem deals with simple algebraic operation that involves calculation of position vector, velocity vector and the acceleration at given time. Velocity is the rate of change of its position and the acceleration is the rate of change of velocity with respect to time. Thus the velocity vector and acceleration can be found using the standard equation for the velocity and acceleration.

Formulae

v=drdt (1)

Where, ris the position vector

a=dvdt (2)

The direction of the velocity vector is

tanθ=yx (3)

03

(a) To find the displacement vector

r=(2t2-5t)i^+(6-7t4)j^

Substituting t = 2 s in the above equation, the displacement vector will be,

r^=(2×23-5×2)i^+(6-7×24)j^Thus,r=(6i^-106j^)m

Thus,

04

(b) To find the velocity vector

Substituting rderived from part (a) in equation (i), the velocity can be written as,

v=d((2t3-5t)i^+(6-7t4)j^)dtv=(6t2-5)i^-25t3j^v=(6×22-5)i^-28×23j^Thus,v=(19i^-224j^)m/s

05

(c) To find the acceleration vector

Substituting vderived from part (b) in equation (ii), the acceleration can be written as,

a=(12t)i^-(84t2)j^Fort=2.00sa=(12×2)i^-(84×22)j^Thus,a=(24i^-336j^)m/s2

06

(d) To find the direction

Substituting y components from velocity vector in equation (iii) the direction will be,

tanθ=-22419θ=-85.2°

An angle is negative, that means that the angle is measured in the clockwise direction below the positive x axis.

(a) Find the initial speed of the package relative to the ground. (b) What is the horizontal distance between the helicopter and the package at the instant the package strikes the ground? (c) What angle does the velocity vector of the package meet with the ground at the instant before impact, as seen from the ground?

A rugby player runs with the ball directly toward his opponent’s goal, along the positive direction of an x axis. He can legally pass the ball to a teammate as long as the ball’s velocity relative to the field does not have a positive x component. Suppose the player runs at speed 4.0m/srelative to the field while he passes the ball with velocitylocalid="1660895439009" VBPrelative to himself. If localid="1660895452337" VBPhas magnitude 6.0m/s, what is the smallest angle it can have for the pass to be legal?
