Question
The position of particle at any instant is given by
. At what instant the velocity vector will make an angle 45° with X-axis?
Solution
Given,
Position of the particle,
∴ Velocity,
The angle which the velocity vector makes with X-axis at any instant is,
Here,
Therefore,
So, when time is 5 seconds, the velocity vector will make an angle 450 with x-axis.
