I think its b because when there is unbalanced forces it accelerates.
Hope this helps you out
(a) Differentiate the position vector to get the velocity vector:
<em>r</em><em>(t)</em> = (3.00 m/s) <em>t</em> <em>i</em> - (4.00 m/s²) <em>t</em>² <em>j</em> + (2.00 m) <em>k</em>
<em>v</em><em>(t)</em> = d<em>r</em>/d<em>t</em> = (3.00 m/s) <em>i</em> - (8.00 m/s²) <em>t</em> <em>j</em>
<em></em>
(b) The velocity at <em>t</em> = 2.00 s is
<em>v</em> (2.00 s) = (3.00 m/s) <em>i</em> - (16.0 m/s) <em>j</em>
<em></em>
(c) Compute the electron's position at <em>t</em> = 2.00 s:
<em>r</em> (2.00 s) = (6.00 m) <em>i</em> - (16.0 m) <em>j</em> + (2.00 m) <em>k</em>
The electron's distance from the origin at <em>t</em> = 2.00 is the magnitude of this vector:
||<em>r</em> (2.00 s)|| = √((6.00 m)² + (-16.0 m)² + (2.00 m)²) = 2 √74 m ≈ 17.2 m
(d) In the <em>x</em>-<em>y</em> plane, the velocity vector at <em>t</em> = 2.00 s makes an angle <em>θ</em> with the positive <em>x</em>-axis such that
tan(<em>θ</em>) = (-16.0 m/s) / (3.00 m/s) ==> <em>θ</em> ≈ -79.4º
or an angle of about 360º + <em>θ</em> ≈ 281º in the counter-clockwise direction.
Solutions are basically a release from a problem. This is more than helpful.
Magnitude of acceleration = (change in speed) / (time for the change) .
Change in speed = (ending speed) - (starting speed)
= zero - (43 m/s)
= -43 m/s .
Magnitude of acceleration = (-43 m/sec) / (0.28 sec)
= (-43 / 0.28) (m/sec) / sec
= 153.57... m/s²
= 1.5... x 10² m/s² .
This is an excellent question that i do not have the answer to.
