A projectile is fired from 3 meters height above level ground with an initial velocity
equals to 20 m/s and at an angle equals to 30 degrees above the horizontal level. Note
that the air resistance is neglected.

the position of a particle with respect to time is defined by:
r(t) = rcos(cot )i +rsin(cot)j ,
where w and r are constants.
Demonstrate that the magnitude of the acceleration of the particle is constant.
