- Position vector of a moving particle is given by r(t)= (2t2−5t+2, 2t2+1,(t+1)2) (a) At what time(s) does the particle pass the yz -plane correctly? (b) What are the particle (i) coordinates, (ii) velocity, (iii) speed, and ((iv) acceleration at t=1 correctly?arrow_forwardAnswer the problem by choosing one of the eight labeled acceleration vectors or selecting option I: a→ = 0→.

- A fish swimming in a horizontal plane has velocity i = (4.00 î + 1.00 ĵ) m/s at a point in the ocean where the position relative to a certain rock is i = (12.0 î − 2.60 ĵ) m. After the fish swims with constant acceleration for 15.0 s, its velocity is = (25.0 î − 1.00 ĵ) m/s. (a) What are the components of the acceleration of the fish? ax = ay = (b) What is the direction of its acceleration with respect to unit vector î? Draw coordinate axes on a separate piece of paper, and then add the acceleration vector with its tail at the origin.
