Homework Statement
Each of the following paths describes the motion of a particle having the same path, namely the unit circle x^2 + y^2 =1. Although the path for each particle is the same, the behavior of each particle is different. For each particle, answer the following questions:
i. ...
ii ...
iii Does the particle move counterclockwise or clockwise?
iiii ...
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
The logic I used to answer part 3 for each particle was to check the position at t=0 and then again at t=pi/2. The change in position will tell me whether it has moved clockwise or counterclockwise. What I need help is n confirming whether or not my method is correct or whether there is some other neater way to do this question.
Thank-you all for the help!
