Q & A
What is the position vector in parametric motion?
-The position vector in parametric motion is a vector that gives the x and y coordinates of a particle at any given time 't'. It is typically represented as a function of 't', for example, X(t) for the x-coordinate and Y(t) for the y-coordinate.
How is the velocity vector of a particle in parametric motion defined?
-The velocity vector is defined as the derivative of the position vector. It represents the rate of change of the position vector with respect to time and is given by the derivatives of the x and y coordinates with respect to time, often denoted as X'(t) and Y'(t).
What is the formula for the velocity vector when the position vector is given by X(t) = 2t^3 - 5t^2 and Y(t) = 8t^3 + 3t^2?
-The velocity vector is obtained by differentiating the position vector with respect to time. For X(t) = 2t^3 - 5t^2, the derivative X'(t) is 6t^2 - 10t. For Y(t) = 8t^3 + 3t^2, the derivative Y'(t) is 24t^2 + 6t. Thus, the velocity vector is V(t) = (6t^2 - 10t, 24t^2 + 6t).
How do you find the acceleration vector of a particle in parametric motion?
-The acceleration vector is the derivative of the velocity vector, which is also the second derivative of the position vector. It represents the rate of change of the velocity vector with respect to time.
What is the acceleration vector when the velocity vector is given by X'(t) = 6t^2 - 10t and Y'(t) = 24t^2 + 6t?
-To find the acceleration vector, differentiate the velocity vector components with respect to time. For X'(t) = 6t^2 - 10t, the second derivative is 12t - 10. For Y'(t) = 24t^2 + 6t, the second derivative is 48t + 6. Thus, the acceleration vector is A(t) = (12t - 10, 48t + 6).
What is the magnitude of a vector and how is it calculated?
-The magnitude of a vector, also known as its length, is calculated using the Pythagorean theorem. For a vector with components (x, y), the magnitude is given by the square root of (x^2 + y^2).
How do you find the speed of an object given its velocity vector?
-The speed of an object is the magnitude of its velocity vector. If the velocity vector is given by V(t) = (X'(t), Y'(t)), the speed is the square root of (X'(t)^2 + Y'(t)^2).
What is the concept of arc length in parametric motion?
-The arc length is the total distance traveled by a particle in parametric motion between two points. It is calculated by integrating the speed over the interval of motion.
How do you determine when a particle is at rest in parametric motion?
-A particle is at rest when its velocity vector is zero. This means both the horizontal and vertical components of the velocity vector must be equal to zero at the same time.
How can you find the position vector of a particle if you know its velocity vector?
-To find the position vector from the velocity vector, you need to integrate the velocity vector components with respect to time. This will give you the position vector components as functions of time.
What are the initial conditions used to determine the constants of integration when finding the position vector from the velocity vector?
-The initial conditions are the known values of the position vector components at a specific time, usually when t = 0. These values are used to solve for the constants of integration in the integrated velocity vector components.
Can you provide an example of finding the position vector when given the velocity vector V(t) = (3t^2 - 4t, 2t)?
-To find the position vector from the given velocity vector V(t) = (3t^2 - 4t, 2t), you would integrate each component with respect to time. The horizontal position component would be the integral of (3t^2 - 4t), and the vertical position component would be the integral of (2t), plus constants of integration determined by initial conditions.
