Motion in a Plane (2-D Kinematics)

A particle is moving along the x-axis with its coordinate with the time 't' given be x(t) = 10 + 8t – 3t2. Another particle is moving the y-axis with its coordinate as a function of time given by y(t) = 5 – 8t3.

At t = 1s, the speed of the second particle as measured in the frame of the first particle is given as v\sqrt{v}. Then v (in m/s) is ______.

Numerical answer type. Work it out, then open the answer.

Answer: 580

  1. First particle: v1=dxdt=8−6t=2v_1 = \frac{dx}{dt} = 8 - 6t = 2 m/s along xx at t=1t = 1 s
  2. Second particle: v2=dydt=−24t2=−24v_2 = \frac{dy}{dt} = -24t^2 = -24 m/s along yy at t=1t = 1 s
  3. v⃗21=v⃗2−v⃗1=−2i^−24j^\vec v_{21} = \vec v_2 - \vec v_1 = -2\hat i - 24\hat j
  4. ∣v⃗21∣2=4+576=580|\vec v_{21}|^2 = 4 + 576 = 580, so v=580v = 580 m/s (in the sense v\sqrt v m/s).
