The expression of the velocity of the particle at a later time tis vox+bt22i^+voyectj^.

Step by step solution

01

Step 1. Given information

The velocity of the particle at t=0sis vo=voxi^+voxj^.

The acceleration of the particle is a=bti^cvyj^.

The velocity vector of the particle is

v=vxi^+vyj^-

Here, vis the velocity of the particle at a later time t, vxis the horizontal component of the velocity of the particle, and vyis the vertical component of the velocity of the particle.

The acceleration of the particle is,

a=dvdt-

Here, ais the acceleration of the particle, andt is the time.

Step 2. The horizontal component of the velocity of the particle.

Substitute voxi^+voyj^forvandbti^cvyj^for ain the above equation to find vector equation.

bti^cvyj^=dvαi^+vosj^dtbti^cvyj^=dvxdti^+dvydtj^

The horizontal component of the velocity of the particle.

Compare the coefficient of the term i^on both sides of the equation (II).

t=dvxdtbtdt=dvx

Integrate the above equation within the desired limit to find vx.

0tbtdt=voxvxdvxbt220t

=vxvoxvxbt22v(0)22

=vxvoxvx=vox+bt22

Thus, the horizontal component of the velocity of the particle is vox+bt22.

03

Step 3. The vertical component of the velocity of the particle.

Compare the coefficient of j^on both sides of the equation (II).

width="175">cvy=dvydtcdt=dvyvy

Integrate the above equation within the desired limit

0tcdt=voyvydvyvyct0t=lnvyvoyvyct+c0=lnvylnvoyvy=voyect

Thus, the vertical component of the velocity of the particle is voyect.

Substitute vox+bt22for vxand voyectfor vyin equation (I) to find v.

v=vox+bt22i^+voyectj^
