How Do You Calculate Angle and Velocity in Particle Motion Analysis?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on calculating the position, velocity, and angle of a particle moving in the xy-plane, given its position function. Participants express confusion about the concept of "unit notation" and the necessary equations for converting from rectangular to polar coordinates. There's an emphasis on understanding the relationship between position and velocity in particle motion analysis. Additionally, the importance of demonstrating effort in homework questions is highlighted to receive effective assistance. The conversation underscores the need for clarity in mathematical terminology and the application of relevant equations.

Homework Statement


the position "r" of a moving particle moving in an xy plane is given by r=(2.00(t^3) -5t)î+ (6.00-7.00(t^4) )j with r in meters and t in seconds. In unit notation calculate:
A) R
B) Velocity
C) R when t is 25 seconds
What is the able between the positive direction of the x-axis and a line tangent to its path at t=25 s

Welcome to the PF.

What is "unit notation"?

And surely in the Relevant Equation section, you could list the method for converting from rectangular to polar notation, since you are asked to find an angle. And what is the relationship between the position R(t) and the velocity V(t) in general?

You need to show some effort on your schoolwork questions, if you want to receive tutorial help here.
 
Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'
In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...
Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanged mass'
Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
