    $y = \frac{a}{b}x - \frac{1}{2}bx^2$
  • B
    $y = x - \frac{bx^2}{2a}$
  • C
    $y = \frac{bx^2}{2a}$
  • D

What can be the angle between velocity and acceleration for the motion in two or three dimensions?

$A$ particle initially at the origin starts moving in the $xy$-plane with a velocity component $\vec{V} = (6 + 2t) \hat{i} + (4 + 2\sqrt{3}t) \hat{j} \text{ m/s}$. The acceleration of the particle in $\text{m/s}^2$ is ($x, y$ are measured in meters, $t$ in seconds, respectively).

Which two motions are considered to be combined for motion in a plane?

The position of a particle is given by $r = 3.0 t \hat{i} + 2.0 t^{2} \hat{j} + 5.0 \hat{k}$,where $t$ is in seconds and the coefficients have the proper units for $r$ to be in metres. $(a)$ Find $v(t)$ and $a(t)$ of the particle. $(b)$ Find the magnitude and direction of $v(t)$ at $t = 1.0 \ s$.
