Q.

The position of a particle is given by r(t)=4ti^+2t2j^+5k^

where t is in seconds and r in metre. Find the magnitude and direction of velocity v(t), at t=1s, with respect to the x-axis.     [2023]
 

1 42ms-1, 45°  
2 42ms-1, 60°  
3 32ms-1, 30°  
4 32ms-1, 45°  

Ans.

(1)

v=drdt=4i^+4tj^+0k^

At t=1sec; v=4i^+4(1)j^

Magnitude, |v|=(4)2+(4)2=42m/s

Direction, tanθ=vyvx=1 or θ=45°
