Question

A golf ball is hit off a tee at the edge of a cliff. Its x and y coordinates as functions of time are given by 

x = 17.2t

 and 

y = 4.16t − 4.90t2,

 where x and y are in meters and t is in seconds.

(a) Write a vector expression for the ball's position as a function of time, using the unit vectors î and ĵ. (Give the answer in terms of t.)
 = 
 
 
 
 m

By taking derivatives, do the following. (Give the answers in terms of t.)

(b) obtain the expression for the velocity vector  as a function of time
 = 
 
 
 
 m/s

(c) obtain the expression for the acceleration vector  as a function of time
 =
