The position of a particle is defined by r = {4(t - sin t)i + (2t 2 - 3)j} m, where t is in seconds
and the argument for the sine is in radians. Determine the speed of the particle and its normal
and tangential components of acceleration when t = 1
A boat is traveling along a circular curve having a radius of 100 ft. If its speed at t = 0 s is
15 ft/s and is increasing at 𝑣̇ = (0.8t) ft/s 2, determine the magnitude of its acceleration at the
instant t = 5 s.
Starting from rest, a bicyclist travels around a horizontal circular path, =10 m, at a speed of
v = (0.09t2 + 0.1t) m/s where t is in seconds. Determine the magnitudes of his velocity and
acceleration when he has travelled s = 3 m.
