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.

In a jump spike, a volleyball player slams the ball from overhead and toward the opposite floor. Controlling the angle of the spike is difficult. Suppose a ball is spiked from a height of2.30mwith an initial speed oflocalid="1654581187572" 20.0m/sat a downward angle oflocalid="1654581198810" 18.00°. How much farther on the opposite floor would it have landed if the downward angle were, instead,localid="1654581212383" 8.00°?

During a tennis match, a player serves the ball at23.6m/s, with the center of the ball leaving the racquet horizontally2.37mabove the court surface. The net is12maway and0.90mhigh. When the ball reaches the net, (a) does the ball clear it and (b) what is the distance between the center of the ball and the top of the net? Suppose that, instead, the ball is served as before but now it leaves the racquet at5.00° below the horizontal. When the ball reaches the net, (c) does the ball clear it and (d) what now is the distance between the center of the ball and the top of the net?

The acceleration of a particle moving only on a horizontalxyplane is given by a=3ti^+4tj^ , where a is in meters per second squared and tis in seconds. At t=0 , the position vector r=(20.0m)i^+(40.0m)j^ locates the particle, which then has the velocity vector v=(5.00m/s)i^+(2.00m/s)j^ . At t=4.00s, what are (a) its position vector in unit-vector notation and (b) the angle between its direction of travel and the positive direction of the xaxis.
