The velocity of a particle is given by v [16t'i + 4t'j + (5t + 2)k) m/s, where t is in seconds.
If the particle if at the origin when t 0, determine the z-coordinate position of the
particle when t- 2 s.
22)))At t = 0, a particle moving with constant acceleration in the xy plane has a velocity v = (3.00i-2.00j) m / s at its origin. At t = 3.00 s, the velocity of the particle is v = (9.00i + 7.00j) m / s. Find the acceleration of the particle?
A particle moves along a horizontal path with a velocity of
v = (31²-61) m/s, where is the time in seconds. If it is initially
located at the origin O, determine the distance traveled in 3.5 s, and the
particle's average velocity and average speed during the time interval.
