2) The position of a particle is given r(t) = A(cos wt i + sin wt f), where w is a constant. (a) Show that the particle moves in a circle of radius A. (b) Calculate and then show that the speed of the particle is a constant. (c) Determine and show that a is given by ac = rw. (d) Calculate the centripetal force on the particle.

Answer:
Explanation:
r(t) = A(cos wt i + sin wt f)
= A cos wt i + A sin wt j
x = A cos wt
y = A sin wt
radius r
r² = x² + y² ( This is equation of a circle with radius r )
= A² cos² wt +A² sin² wt
= A²
r = A
radius r = A
b )
speed = dr/dt
v = – Aw sinwt i + Aw coswt j
magnitude of velocity
I v I= Aw √(sin²wt + cos²wt)
= Aw ( constant )
acceleration
= dv / dt = – Aw² cos wt – Aw² sinwt
magnitude of acceleration
I a I = Aw²
= r w²
d ) centripetal force = m acceleration
m w² A
