A particle starts from the origin at t=0 st = 0\,\text{s} with a velocity of 10.0j^10.0 \hat{j} m/s and moves in the x-y plane with a constant acceleration of (8.0i^+2.0j^) m s−2(8.0 \hat{i}+2.0 \hat{j})\,\mathrm{m}\,\mathrm{s}^{-2} (a) At what time is the x-coordinate of the particle 16 m? What is the y-coordinate of the particle at that time ? (b) What is the speed of the particle at the time?
Solution:  
Here, u⃗=10.0j^ m s−1\vec{u}=10.0 \hat{j}\,\mathrm{m}\,\mathrm{s}^{-1} at t=0t=0
a⃗=dv⃗dt=(8.0i^+2.0j^) m s−2\vec{a}= \frac{d\vec{v}}{dt}= (8.0 \hat{i}+2.0 \hat{j})\,\mathrm{m}\,\mathrm{s}^{-2} So , dv⃗=(8.0i^+2.0j^) dt,\, d\vec{v}= (8.0 \hat{i}+2.0 \hat{j})\, dt
Integrating it within the limits of motion i.e. as time changes from 0 to tt, velocity changes from uu to vv, we have
v⃗−u⃗=(8.0i^+2.0j^)t\vec{v} - \vec{u} = (8.0 \hat{i}+2.0 \hat{j}) t or v⃗=u⃗+8.0ti^+2.0tj^\vec{v} = \vec{u} + 8.0 t \hat{i} + 2.0 t \hat{j}
As v⃗=dr⃗dt\vec{v} = \frac{d\vec{r}}{dt} or dr⃗=v⃗ td\vec{r} = \vec{v}\, t So, dr⃗=(u⃗+8.0ti^+2.0tj^) dtd\vec{r} = ( \vec{u} + 8.0 t \hat{i} + 2.0 t \hat{j} )\, dt
Integrating it within the conditions of motion i.e. as time changes from 0 to t, displacement is from 0 to r, we have
r⃗=u⃗+12×8.0t2i^+12×2.0t2j^\vec{r} = \vec{u} + \frac{1}{2} \times 8.0 t^{2} \hat{i} + \frac{1}{2} \times 2.0 t^{2} \hat{j}
or xi^+yj^x \hat{i} + y \hat{j} =10tj^+4.0t2i^+t2j^=10 t \hat{j} + 4.0 t^{2} \hat{i} + t^{2} \hat{j} =4.0t2i^+(10t+t2)j^=4.0 t^{2} \hat{i} + (10 t + t^{2}) \hat{j}
Here, we have, x=4.0t2x=4.0 t^{2} and y=10t+t2∴t=(x4)1/2y=10 t + t^{2} \therefore t = \left(\frac{x}{4}\right)^{1/2}
(a) $ $ At x=16 mx=16 \,\mathrm{m} ; t=(164)1/2=2 st = \left(\frac{16}{4}\right)^{1/2} = 2\,\mathrm{s}, y=10×2+22=24 my = 10 \times 2 + 2^{2} = 24\,\mathrm{m}
(b) Velocity of the particle at time t is v⃗=10j^+8.0ti^+2.0tj^\vec{v} = 10 \hat{j} + 8.0 t \hat{i} + 2.0 t \hat{j}
When t=2 st = 2\,\mathrm{s}, then
v⃗=10j^+8.0×2i^+2.0×2j^\vec{v} = 10 \hat{j} + 8.0 \times 2 \hat{i} + 2.0 \times 2 \hat{j} =16i^+14j^=16 \hat{i} + 14 \hat{j}
Speed =∣v⃗∣=162+142=21.26 m s−1= |\vec{v}| = \sqrt{16^{2}+14^{2}} = 21.26\,\mathrm{m}\,\mathrm{s}^{-1}
