Homework Statement


Velocity vector for a .5kg body, t=1s to t=35s, is v=5t^2 i + 3/t j – t k

WHat is the position vector? what is the angular momentum vector?what is the acceleration vector? what is torque exerted on the body?

Homework Equations


L=rxp=rxmv
T=rxf=rxma

The Attempt at a Solution


Position vector: 5/3t^3 i + 1/3ln(t) j - 2t^-2 k
Acceleration Vector: 10t i + (t-3)/t^2 j - k
I am not good in cross product so i might need verification if i did it write...granted that my vectors above are right...
L=rxp=rxmv
L=((t/6lnt)-3/2))i, ((-15/6)-(5/6t^2))j, ((5/t^6)-(5/6t^2 lnt))k.

I won't write out torque vector because it takes awhile and if i know how do do what is above right, i can manage the torque one...so please somebody review my work
 
Physics news on Phys.org
All it is is checking my work...becasue there are further parts that run off of this work and i want to make sure i got this part right
 
bold letteres are vectors
 
PLEASE somebody check this out for me...just not sure about the derivatives/integrals and the cross product exectution
