An xy "Path Known" Problem (Solution)
Problem 2: A particle moves along a path described by the
equation: y2 = 4x + 1 (in feet)
Do the following:
(a) Plot this curve.
If y = +3 ft when x = 2 ft, and at this point vx = 3 fps and ax
= 4 fps2, determine:
(b) vy.
(c) ay.
(d) The angle between the v and a vectors..
