    Here are the steps to solve this problem: (a) At t = 2s, x = 60 m. From the equation y = x^2*100, y = 3600 m. Using the distance formula, d = sqrt(x^2 + y^2) = sqrt(3600 + 60^2) = sqrt(3660) = 60.5 m. (b) At t = 2s, vx = 30 m/s. vy can be found by taking the derivative of y with respect to t: vy = 2x*dx/dt = 2*60*30 = 3600 m/s. The magnitude of the velocity is v = sqrt(vx^2 + vy^2) = sqrt

    ¢tudents should be able to:
    1. Describe the motion of a particle traveling along a
    curved path
    2. Relate kinematic quantities in terms of the

    °he path of motion of each plane in this
    formation can be tracked with radar and their x,
    y, and z coordinates (relative to a point on
    earth) recorded as a function of time

    How can we determine the velocity or


    acceleration at any instant?

    A roller coaster car travels down a fixed,


    helical path at a constant speed
    If you are designing the track, why is
    it important to be able to predict the
    acceleration of the car?

    A particle moving along a curved path undergoes curvilinear motion. ¢ince the
    motion is often three-dimensional, vectors are used to describe the motion

    A particle moves along a curve defined by the


    path function, s

    °he position of the particle at any instant is designated by the vector


    V [ V(t). Both the magnitude and direction of V may vary with time

    If the particle moves a distance s along the curve


    during time interval t, the displacement is
    determined by vector subtraction:  V [ V - V
     
     elocity represents the rate of change in the position of a particle
    °he average velocity of the particle
    during the time increment t is
    a a [ V·t
    °he instantaneous velocity is the
    time-derivative of position
    a [ dV·dt
    °he velocity vector, a, is always
    tangent to the path of motion

    °he magnitude of a is called the speed. ¢ince the arc length s


    approaches the magnitude of V as tĺ0, the speed can be obtained by
    differentiating the path function (v [ ds·dt). Note that this is not a
    vector!
    ß 
    Acceleration represents the rate of change in the velocity
    of a particle
    If a particle¶s velocity changes from a to a over a time
    increment t, the average acceleration during that
    increment is:

    a [ a·t [ (a - a )·t
    °he instantaneous acceleration is the time-derivative of
    velocity:
    [ da·dt [ d2V·dt2

    A plot of the locus of points defined by the arrowhead of


    the velocity vector is called a hodograph. °he acceleration
    vector is tangent to the hodograph, but not, in general,
    tangent to the path function

         O     
    It is often convenient to describe the motion of a particle in terms of its x,
    y, z or rectangular components, relative to a fixed frame of reference

    °he position of the particle can be


    defined at any instant by the position
    vector
    V [   + y + z 
    °he x, y, z components may all be
    functions of time, i.e.,
    x [ x(t), y [ y(t), and z [ z(t)

    °he magnitude of the position vector is: r [ (x2 + y2 + z2)0ÄM


    °he direction of V is defined by the unit vector: V [ (1·r)V
    O      
    °he velocity vector is the time derivative of the position vector:
    a [ dV·dt [ d(x)·dt + d(y)·dt + d(z)·dt

    ¢ince the unit vectors , ,  are constant in magnitude and direction, this
    equation reduces to v [ vx + vy + vz
    Where; vx [ dx·dt, vy [ dy·dt, vz [ dz·dt

    °he magnitude of the velocity


    vector is
    v [ [(vx)2 + (vy)2 + (vz)2]0ÄM
    °he direction of a is tangent to the
    path of motion.
    O     ß 
    °he acceleration vector is the time derivative of the velocity vector
    (second derivative of the position vector):
    [ da·dt [ d2V·dt2 [ ax + ay + az
    where ax [ dvx ·dt, ay [ dvy ·dt,
    az [dvz ·dt

    °he magnitude of the acceleration vector is


    a [ [(ax)2 + (ay)2 + (az)2 ]0ÄM

    °he direction of is usually not


    tangent to the path of the particle
    Problem:
    At any instant the horizontal position of the weather
    balloon is defined by x[ (30t), where t is given in
    seconds. If the equation of the y [ path is x2·100,
    determine
    (a) distance of the balloon from station at A when t [ 2s,
    (b) Magnitude and direction of the velocity when t [ 2s,
    (c) Magnitude and direction of acceleration when t [ 2s,
