Question #230101

Question:

A particle moves such that its vector is given by π‘Ÿ

Β = cos πœ”π‘‘π‘– + sin πœ”π‘‘π‘— where πœ” is a constant. Show that:

(i)

Velocity, 𝑣 of the particle is perpendicular toΒ r

(ii)

Acceleration,Β π‘ŽΒ is directed towards the origin and has magnitude proportional to theΒ 

distance from the origin

(iii) π‘Ÿ 𝑋 𝑣is a constant vector

(i)


"v=\\dfrac{dr}{dt}=-\\omega\\sin \\omega ti+\\omega\\cos \\omega tj"

"r\\cdot v=\\cos \\omega t(-\\omega\\sin \\omega t)+\\sin \\omega t(\\omega \\cos \\omega t)=0"

Hence "r \\perp v."


(ii)


"a=\\dfrac{d^2r}{dt^2}=\\dfrac{dv}{dt}=-\\omega^2\\cos \\omega ti-\\omega^2\\sin \\omega tj"

"=-\\omega^2(\\cos \\omega ti+\\sin\\omega tj)=-\\omega^2r"

Hence π‘ŽΒ is directed towards the origin and has magnitude proportional to theΒ  distance from the origin


"a=(-\\omega^2)r"

(iii)


"r\\times v=\\begin{vmatrix}\n i & j & k \\\\\n \\cos\\omega t & \\sin\\omega t & 0\\\\\n -\\omega \\sin\\omega t & \\omega\\cos\\omega t & 0\\\\\n\\end{vmatrix}"


"=k\\begin{vmatrix}\n \\cos\\omega t & \\sin\\omega t \\\\\n -\\omega \\sin\\omega t & \\omega \\cos\\omega t \n\\end{vmatrix}"

"=(\\omega\\cos^2\\omega t+\\omega\\sin^2\\omega t)k"

"=\\omega k"

Therefore "r\\times v" is a constant vector ("\\omega=const" ).
