- y = -x (b) Use it to project the vector v =arrow_forwardREFER TO IMAGEarrow_forwardThe vector describing a particular particle is given by T(t) = Rcos (wt)î + Rsin (wt) ĵ, where R and w are constants. (a) What is the magnitude of the position, |7|? What is its unit vector, f? (b) What is the velocity, ī, of this particle? What is it's magnitude, |0|? What is its unit vector, î? (c) What is the acceleration, a, of this particle? What is it's magnitude, Jā|? What is its unit vector, â? (d) Show that the acceleration points opposite to the position, ř° (i.e., â x -î), and determine the proportionality constant. |arrow_forward
- I would need help with a, b, and c as mention below. (a) Find the gradient of f.(b) Evaluate the gradient at the point P.(c) Find the rate of change of f at P in the direction of the vector u.arrow_forwardThe concentration of salt in a fluid at is given by mg/cm . You are at the point . (a) In which direction should you move if you want the concentration to increase the fastest? Direction: (Give your answer as a vector.) (b) You start to move in the direction you found in part (a) at a speed of cm/sec. How fast is the concentration changing? Rate of change = HINT: The rate of change of the perceived concentration F(x,y,z), by the Chain Rule, equals the dot product of the gradient vector of F and the velocity of the "particle". To find it, we need to know the norms (magnitudes) of both vectors and the angle between them. In this problem the angle is known.arrow_forwardHow do you know what the vector b is?arrow_forward
- New calculation pleasearrow_forwardThe position vector r describes the path of an object moving in the xy-plane. Position Vector Point r(t) = 2 cos ti + 2 sin tj (VZ, V2) (a) Find the velocity vector, speed, and acceleration vector of the object. v(t) = s(t) a(t) = (b) Evaluate the velocity vector and acceleration vector of the object at the given point. a(#) =arrow_forwarddiscuss the directional vectors (gradient and curl) with physical examples.arrow_forward
