A rhinoceros is at the origin of coordinates at time t1 = 0. For the time interval from t1 = 0 to t2 = 12.0 s, the rhino’s average velocity has x-component -3.8 m/s and y-component 4.9 m/s. At time t2 = 12.0 s, (a) what are the x- and y-coordinates of the rhino? (b) How far is the rhino from the origin?
A particle leaves the origin with an initial velocity of ( 2.40 m/s ) x^ , and moves with constant acceleration of ( − 1.90 m/s 2 ) x ^ + ( 3.20 m/s 2 ) y ^ . (a) How far does the particle move in the x direction before turning around? (b) What is the particle’s velocity at this time?
