A proton initially has the velocity v=4ı-2j+3k and then 4s later has the velocity v=-2ı-2j+5k (in meters per second). For that 4s find the following quantities;
A)the proton's average acceleration aavg in unit-vector notation.
B)the magnitude of aavg
C) the angle between aavg and the positive direction of the x axis.
A projectile reaches its maximum height H at time t0 > 0. What fraction of H does it reach at time 1/2 t0?
At time t=0.0s a particle is located at x = 4.0 m and y = 1.0 m. The particle has an initial velocity
at t=0.0 s given by:
v=6.0m/si-2.0m/sj
The particle experiences a constant acceleration beginning at t=0.0s that can be described by
a = -2.0m/s² i +5.0m/s23 +3.0m/s² k
(A) On coordinate axes (x and y) show the particle initial position and draw a vector which indicates
the initial velocity of the particle.
(B) If we want to determine the position of the particle at a later time t, which physics approach or
equation(s) might we use to do so?
(C) Find the position of the particle at t=4.0 s. Express your result in terms of the position vector
in and j and k notation.
