Homework Help Overview

The discussion revolves around the motion of a particle with a specified mass, where the original poster seeks to determine the velocity, acceleration, and force acting on the particle based on its position equations, which were not initially provided.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Assumption checking, Problem interpretation

Approaches and Questions Raised

  • Participants question the absence of equations for the position variables x and y, with some suggesting the need to formulate these equations to relate position to velocity and acceleration. Others express a desire for clarification on how to derive the necessary formulas.

Discussion Status

The discussion is currently focused on identifying the missing equations needed to progress. Some participants have offered guidance on the relationships between position, velocity, and acceleration, while others are seeking further clarification and examples.

Contextual Notes

There is a lack of specific equations for the position of the particle, which is crucial for advancing the discussion. The original poster's request for help indicates a need for foundational understanding of the concepts involved.

Homework Statement


the motion of a particle of mass m=10kg is described by the equation x= y=
where x and y are in meters and t in seconds. Determine the velocity acceleration of the particle and the force acting on it.


Homework Equations





The Attempt at a Solution

 
Physics news on Phys.org
i don't see an eq of x and y. :(
 
oh sorry. there is no any eq in front of x and y, can u put one for me and explain it for me
 
Again, you'll want to formulate an equation that gives the position function, and relate that to velocity, then relate that equation to acceleration, at which point you can use Newtons second law to figure out the force acting on the particle.
 
can u show me a formula and how to do it
