The coordinates of an object moving in the xy plane vary with time according to the equations x = −5.08 sin ωt and y = 4.00 − 5.08 cos ωt, where ω is a constant, x and y are in meters, and t is in seconds.
(a) Determine the components of velocity of the object at t = 0. (Use the following as necessary: ω.) v with arrow = m/s
(b) Determine the components of the acceleration of the object at t = 0. (Use the following as necessary: ω.) a with arrow = m/s2
(c) Write expressions for the position vector, the velocity vector, and the acceleration vector of the object at any time t > 0. (Use the following as necessary: omega for ω and t.) r with arrow = m v with arrow = m/s a with arrow = m/s2
(d) Describe the path of the object in an xy plot.
