- A particle is moving on top of a 2-dimensional. plane with its coordinates given in cartesian system as x(t) =a sin ωt, y(t) = a cos ωt. Express the motion of the particle in terms of polar coordinates (ρ, φ). What is the minimum number ofgeneralised coordinates required to describe. its motion? Draw the. trajectory of the particle.arrow_forwardAn object is moving between two points on a circle with radius R. The object can only move along the circle. The function F is the path length travelled between two points on the circle. a. Assume that the position of the object along the circle is described by an angle θ with respect to the center of the circle and the x-axis. Is this angle a minimum set of generalized coordinates for this problem? b. Assume that the position of the object along the circle is described by two Cartesian coordinates x and y, where the origin of the coordinate system is the center of the circle. Are these coordinates a minimum set of generalized coordinates for this problem? c. What would be the holonomic constraint for the two Cartesian coordinates x and y for the motion around the circle? d. What would be the Euler equation for this problem in Cartesian coordinates with holonomic constraint and Lagrange multiplier λ.arrow_forwardA golf ball is struck with an initial velocity of 10m/s at an angle of 30 degrees above the horizontal. Please draw a picture of the situation in a 2-dimensional coordinate system. Please draw one ball at the initial position and one at the maximum height of the trajectory. We will call that maximum height the 'final position' for this example. Label Xi, yi Draw and label the vectors Vi, Viv, and Vix for the 'initial' state of the ball. Label Xf, Yf Draw and label the vectors Vf, Vfy, and Vfx for the 'initial' state of the ball. Be sure to draw your vectors in the appropriate direction and with roughly the appropriate scale. Remember that, for projectile motion, the acceleration in the x direction is zero and the acceleration in the y direction is -g. Keep that in mind when you are deciding how to draw your velocity vectors.arrow_forward

- WHICH ANSWER IS CORRECT? Given the curve C parametrized by the vector equation r (t)=3sin(t)i+[2−sin(t)+cos(t)]j−3cos(t)k, t∈[0;2π] On the given curve C A. The tangent, the acceleration, and the jerk are coplanar vectors all along the given curve C. B. The tangent vector, acceleration vector, and the jerk vector are nowhere simultaneously coplanar along curve C. C. The jerk vector indicates the direction and magnitude of the change in acceleration, therefore it is nowhere coplanar with the acceleration. D. The vector function, tangent vector, and the acceleration vector are coplanar. E.
