Question
An object has a position given by the radius vector r = [2.0 m + (3.00 m/s)t](i)+ [3.0 m – (2.00 m/s^2)t^2](j). Here (i) and (j) are the unit vectors along x and y and all quantities are in SI units. What is the speed and magnitude of the acceleration in m/s^2 of the object at time t = 2.00 s

Answer:
The speed of the object is ()m/s
The magnitude of the acceleration is 4.00m/s²
Explanation:
Given – position vector;
r = (2.0 + 3.00t)i + (3.0 – 2.00t²)j ——————-(i)
To get the speed vector (), take the first derivative of equation (i) with respect to time t as follows;
=
=
= ————————(ii)
To get the acceleration vector (), take the first derivative of the speed vector in equation(ii) as follows;
j
The magnitude of the acceleration |a| is therefore given by
|a| = |-4.00|
|a| = 4.00 m/s²
In conclusion;
the speed of the object is ()m/s
the magnitude of the acceleration is 4.00m/s²
