Question

The spatial motion of a particle is described by
? = 3? 2 + 4? ? = −4? 2 + 3? ? = −6? + 9
where the coordinates are measured in feet and the time t is in seconds. (a) Determine the velocity and
acceleration vectors of the particle as functions of time. (b) Verify that the particle is undergoing plane
motion (the motion is not in a coordinate plane) by showing that the unit vector perpendicular to the
plane formed by v and a is constant.
