Chapter 3: Problem 8
CALC A remote-controlled car is moving in a vacant parking lot. The velocity of the car as a function of time is given by \(\hat{v} =[5.00 m/s - (0.0180 m/s^3)t^2] \hat{\imath} = [2.00 m/s + (0.550 m/s^2)t]\hat{j}\). (a) What are \(a_x(t)\) and \(a_y(t)\), the \(x\)- and \(y\)-components of the car's velocity as functions of time? (b) What are the magnitude and direction of the car's velocity at \(t\) = 8.00 s? (b) What are the magnitude and direction of the car's acceleration at \(t\) = 8.00 s?
