10 stepsTo solve this problem, we need to use differentiation to find velocity and acceleration from the position vector.
- Velocity () is the first derivative of the position vector () with respect to time (): .
- Acceleration () is the first derivative of the velocity vector with respect to time: .
We will use two main rules for differentiation:
-
Product Rule: If a function is a product of two other functions, and , so , then its derivative is:
Example: To differentiate , let and . Then and . So, .
-
Chain Rule: If a function is a function of another function, say , then its derivative is:
Example: To differentiate , let and . Then and . So, .
The position vector of particle P is given by:
First, let's find the velocity vector by differentiating with respect to :
For the component, :
Using the product rule with and :
(using the chain rule)
So, .
For the component, :
Using the chain rule:
.
Thus, the velocity vector is:
Next, let's find the acceleration vector by differentiating with respect to :
For the component, :
.
For , using the product rule with and :
(using the chain rule)
So, .
Combining these, .
For the component, :
.
Thus, the acceleration vector is:
Now we can solve each part for .
At , we have .
Recall that and .

From part (a), .
Calculate the magnitude of the force.
Part c
The magnitude of the momentum of the particle
Momentum . The magnitude of the momentum is .
Find the velocity vector at .
Substitute into the velocity vector :
Evaluate the trigonometric functions and simplify.
Find the magnitude of the velocity vector.
Calculate the magnitude of the momentum.
Part d
Find the velocity of P relative to Q when
The velocity of P at is m/s (from part c).
The problem states that particle Q is moving with velocity m/s.
Assumption: The phrase "in the same direction as P" contradicts the given vector , as is in the opposite direction to . We will use the explicit vector given for .
Use the formula for relative velocity
.
Perform the vector subtraction.
