RECTANGULAR COMPONENTS OF VELOCITY AND
ACCELERATION
- When the position of the particle P is defined at any instant by its rectangular
coordinates x , y, and z.
DISCUSSION PROBLEM
- An objects curvilinear motion is described by Vx=50-16t and y=100-4t^2 where
Vx is in m/s, y is in meters. It is also known that x=0 if t=0. Calculate the objects
velocity and acceleration when position y=0.
