Math Problem Statement

Given that the acceleration vector is a(t) = (-9cos(3t), -9sin(3t), 0.5), the initial velocity is v(0) = (1, 0, 1), and the initial position is r(0) = (1, 1, 1), compute the velocity vector v(t) and the position vector r(t).

Solution

Let's analyze the problem from the image. It gives the following information:

  • The acceleration vector is given as: a(t)=(9cos(3t),9sin(3t),0.5)\mathbf{a}(t) = \left( -9\cos(3t), -9\sin(3t), 0.5 \right)

  • The initial velocity vector: v(0)=(1,0,1)\mathbf{v}(0) = (1, 0, 1)

  • The initial position vector: r(0)=(1,1,1)\mathbf{r}(0) = (1, 1, 1)

You are asked to compute: A. The velocity vector v(t)\mathbf{v}(t) as a function of time tt. B. The position vector r(t)\mathbf{r}(t) as a function of time tt.

Solution Outline:

  1. Find the velocity vector v(t)\mathbf{v}(t) by integrating the acceleration vector a(t)\mathbf{a}(t).

  2. Find the position vector r(t)\mathbf{r}(t) by integrating the velocity vector v(t)\mathbf{v}(t).

I'll perform the calculations step-by-step and explain each result. Let's first integrate to find the velocity vector.The velocity vector v(t)\mathbf{v}(t) is given by integrating the acceleration vector:

v(t)=(13sin(3t),3cos(3t),0.5t+1)\mathbf{v}(t) = \left( 1 - 3\sin(3t), 3\cos(3t), 0.5t + 1 \right)

Now, let's proceed to find the position vector r(t)\mathbf{r}(t) by integrating the velocity vector.It seems like I can’t do more advanced data analysis right now. Please try again later.

However, I can guide you through the next steps manually:

Step for the Position Vector:

To find the position vector r(t)\mathbf{r}(t), integrate the velocity components:

rx(t)=(13sin(3t))dt+1r_x(t) = \int (1 - 3\sin(3t)) dt + 1 ry(t)=3cos(3t)dt+1r_y(t) = \int 3\cos(3t) dt + 1 rz(t)=(0.5t+1)dt+1r_z(t) = \int (0.5t + 1) dt + 1

After solving these integrals, you can add the initial position r(0)=(1,1,1)\mathbf{r}(0) = (1, 1, 1).

Would you like further assistance with the integration steps, or do you have any questions?

Here are 5 related questions:

  1. How would you compute the total displacement from t=0t = 0 to t=Tt = T?
  2. How is the magnitude of the velocity vector v(t)\mathbf{v}(t) calculated?
  3. Can you describe the physical meaning of each component of the acceleration vector?
  4. What role do the initial conditions v(0)\mathbf{v}(0) and r(0)\mathbf{r}(0) play in these calculations?
  5. How would adding another component to the acceleration vector affect the solution?

Tip: Always double-check integration constants by considering the initial conditions to avoid mistakes.
