ok that makes sense!
I got 4.11 for x, and 5.26 for y.
I am confused on which one affects the rate of change.
Also once I do find which component affects the rate of change, would it be positive or negative?
Hmm. Well I made a triangle, one side velocity, the other acceleration; which was bound by 128 degrees.
I'm stuck on what to do next with this triangle.
I have never seen a problem like this before. I have tried my class notes, my textbook, and google. I cannot seem to grasp what the question...
Homework Statement
An object is traveling along a curved path. At a particular instant the angle between its velocity vector and its acceleration vector is 128 degrees. The magnitude of its acceleration vector is 6.68 m/s2.
At that instant, what is the particle's rate of change of...
