Hi everyone,
Could someone please help me on this problem?
A particle initially located at the origin has an acceleration of a=1.00jm/s^2 and an initial velocity of V=8.00im/s
a. Find the position vector at any time t (where t is measured in seconds)
b. Find the velocity vector at any time t
r=xi+yj
v=vxi+vyj
I know that the velocity is the first derivative of the position vector and the acceleration is the second derivative. However, I am not given the original equation or the velocity vector. Would I use these two equations?
Would it be something like this?
a. r=xi+yj
r=8.00i+1.00j
Could someone please show me what to do or give me a hint?
Thank you in advance
