3.1: Particle kinematics with column vectors
In this question, all lengths are in metres and all times are in seconds.
A particle is moving in the direction with a speed of .
(a)[1]
Find the velocity vector of .
(b)[1]
Given that is initially at the point with position vector , write down the position vector of at time .
(c)[2]
A particle starts to move such that its position vector at time is .
Find the displacement vector at time .
(d)[2]
Hence find the distance , at time , in the form , where , and are constants.
(e)[2]
Find the value of when the distance is , giving your answer correct to decimal places.
