Assignment 10If the velocity function for a projectile is `v(t) = 10 `i + (20 - 9.8 t) `j, then:

*********************************************

Question: `q001. What is its position function `R(t), and what is its acceleration function `a(t)?

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Your solution:

A(t)=-9.8 ‘j

R(t)=10t +c1 I +20t-4.9t^2+c2 j

.............................................

Given Solution:

Velocity is the derivative of position, so you need an antiderivative.

Question:

`q002. What is its position function if its t = 0 position is `R(0) = 0 `i + 10 `j?

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Your solution:

R(t)= 10t I +20t-4.9t^2 +10j

Given Solution:

Your antiderivatives contain integration constants. From the given conditions you can evaluate those constants.

Question:

`q003. At what instant is the `j component of the position function equal to 20?

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Your solution:

20t-4.9t^2+10=20

solve for t and it equals .583, 3.50

Question:

`q004. At what instant is the `i component of the position equal to 20, and at that instant what is the `j component of its position?

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Your solution:

At t=2

10t=20

and ag t=2 j is

20*2-4.9*2^2+10

=30.4

Question:

`q005. At what instant is the `j component of its position maximized?

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Your solution:

R’(t) for j = 20-9.8t=0 at t=2.04

It goes from positive slope to negative slope.

confidence rating #$&*:

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

.............................................

Given Solution:

A function is maximized or minimized at a critical point. A first- or second-derivative test can check whether a critical point gives us a max or a min, or perhaps an inflection point.

Question:

`q006. At what instant is the `j component of its position zero, and at that instant what is the `i component of its position?

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Your solution:

20t-4.9t^2+10=0 t=4.53

I component is 10*4.53=45.3

*********************************************

Question:

`q007. At what instant is the angle between `R(t) and the `i vector equal to 70 degrees? Does this occur at only one instant?

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Your solution:

U*v=|u| |V| cos (70)

100t^2=10t*sqrt(100t^2+(20t-4.9t^2+10)^2)*cos(70)

t=.85 and 9.9

so not only one instant

this is because it is quadratic.

confidence rating #$&*:

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

.............................................

Given Solution:

Use the dot product to get an expression for the angle.

*********************************************

Question:

`q008. Give a set of parametric equations x = x(t) and y = y(t) that describe the position of the projectile. Eliminate the variable t, and solve for y in terms of x. What kind of equation do you get? Describe its graph.

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Your solution:

X(t)=10t

X/10=t

Y(t)=20t-4.9t^2+10

Y(x)=20*x/10-4.9*(x/10)^2+10

It’s a quadratic graph

confidence rating #$&*:

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

.............................................

Given Solution:

The position is x(t) `i + y(t) `j. You figured out the position function in the second problem.

You eliminate the variable by solving for either x or y in terms of t, then substituting in the equation for y or x (depending on whether you solve the x or the y equation for t).
