The position of a point in time t is given by x= a + bt - ct ^2, y = at + bt ^2 . It's resultant acceleration at time t in seconds is given by
Options
- Ab - c unit/seconds ^2
- Bb + c unit/seconds ^2
- C2 ~b -2 c unit / seconds ^2
- D2 b^2+c^2 unit/seconds ^2
Correct answer
D. 2 b^2+c^2 unit/seconds ^2
Step-by-step solution
Differentiating the position equations yields velocity components: v_x = dx dt = b - 2ct v_y = dy dt = a + 2bt Differentiating again gives the acceleration components: a_x = dv_x dt = -2c a_y = dv_y dt = 2b The magnitude of the resultant acceleration is therefore: A = (-2c)^2 + (2b)^2 = 4c^2 + 4b^2 = 4(b^2 + c^2) = 2 b^2 + c^2 Final answer: D
