1. Is the angle formed by the "head" of
As point D is chosen to lie closer to point C, does the above angle increase, decrease, or remain the same? Explain how you can tell.
Does the above angle approach a limiting value? If so, what is its limiting value?
2. Describe how to use the change in velocity vector to determine the average acceleration of the object between C and D. Draw a vector to represent the average acceleration between points C and D.

- I have an 2x2 matrix such that a (5) , where a,b,c,d lies in the x-y plane. I need to apply rotation matrices to rotate this matrix in the following manner. 1. The rotation is along the x axis by angle theta 2. The rotation is along the y axis by angle theta 3. The rotation is along the z axis by angle theta NOTE! Clearly state the theory to derive the rotation matrices for all the cases. State the rotation matrices and show with an example that it works for all cases.arrow_forwardA particle is moving on top of a 2-dimensional. plane with its coordinates given incartesian system asx(t) = a sin ωt, y(t) = a cos ωt.Express the motion of the particle in terms of polar coordinates (ρ, φ).

If a function is curved, the derivative is not constant but changing. To find the derivative at any point, draw a line tangent to the graph at that point. The slope of the tangent line is the derivative. As you move along the graph, the slope of the tangent line changes, and so does the derivative. The graph in (Figure 5) shows a function z(t). The derivative of the function at t =1 is closest to: • View Available Hint(s) O -10 Figure O 10 O 5 x(1) O -5 20- B Submit 10- Part F Complete previous part(s) Provide Feedback Next >arrow_forward

It then passes over a slope into a pool below as shown. The water in the channel ensures that there is very little friction. A B (R Ax On this particular ride, the slope (the black arc through points A and B) is a circular curve of radius R, centered on point P. The dotted line shows the boat's trajectory. At some point B along the slope, the boat (and the water falling with it) will separate from the track and fall freely as shown. Note that the pond is level with point P. Considering the boat as a particle, assume it starts from rest at point A and slides down the slope without friction. a) Determine the angle øsen at which the boat will separate from the track. b) Determine the horizontal distance Ax (from point P) at which the boat strikes the pond surface. c) Determine the impact speed vf and impact angle 0.
