Find (a) the vector position of the particle at any time t, (b) the velocity of the particle at any time t, (c) the coordinates of the particle at t = 2.00 s, and (d) the speed of the particle at t = 2.00 s.arrow_forwardA projectile is launched on the Earth with a certain initial velocity and moves without air resistance. Another projectile is launched with the same initial velocity on the Moon, where the acceleration due to gravity is one-sixth as large. How does the range of the projectile on the Moon compare with that of the projectile on the Earth? (a) It is one-sixth as large. (b) It is the same. (c) It is 6 times larger. (d) It is 6 times larger. (e) It is 36 times larger.arrow_forwardA golf ball leaves the ground with an initial velocity vo = voxî + vovĵ. The ball hits a vertical wall which is located a horizontal distance b from the point of projection. When the ball strikes the wall, it is at a height h above the ground and it is moving horizontally. Which of the following choices correctly relates the ratio h/b to the components (vox , Voy) of the initial velocity. FL Vo harrow_forward
