A particle moves in a plane elliptical orbit described by the position vector

r = 2 b sin  ω t i + b cos ω t j

  1. (a) Find v, a, and the particle speed.
  2. (b) What is the angle between v and a at time t = π/2ω?

We are presented with a particle of mass (m = 4.56 kg) which is in uniform circular motion going around a fixed point O. It had a radius of orbit (r = 3.63 m) and it experiences a net force of magnitude F = Br toward the fixed point O, where B = 2.75 Nm.  What is the period of the particles orbit?
A particle is in uniform circular motion about the origin of an xy coordinate system, moving clockwise with a period of 8.40 s. At one instant, its position vector (from the origin) is r→=(3.70m)î-(4.50m)ĵ. At that instant, what is its velocity in unit-vector notation?
A particle is in uniform circular motion about the origin of an xy coordinate system, moving clockwise with a period of 7.00 s. At one instant, its position vector (measured from the origin) is r: = (2.00 m)iˆ - (3.00 m). At that instant, what is its velocity in unit-vector notation?
