Suppose an object moves in an elliptical orbit parametrized by x = 4 cos t and y = 6 sin t, where t ≥ 0. use (4) and (5) in section 6.8 in order to find a formula for the velocity v(t) of the object at a given time t. then determine the value of the velocity at the indicated times:

Respuesta :

As we know that position is given as

[tex]x = 4 cost , y = 6 sint[/tex]

now in order to find the velocity

[tex]\frac{dx}{dt} = v_x[/tex]

so here we will have

[tex]v_x = \frac{d}{dt} 4cost = -4sint[/tex]

similarly in y direction

[tex]v_y = \frac{dy}{dt}[/tex]

[tex]v_y = \frac{d}{dt}(6sint) = 6 cost[/tex]

now the net velocity is given as

[tex]v = \sqrt{v_x^2 + v_y^2}[/tex]

[tex]v = \sqrt{(-4sint)^2+(6cost)^2}[/tex]

[tex]v = \sqrt{16sin^2t + 36 cos^2t}[/tex]

so above is the velocity as a function of time

The velocity of an object depends on its displacement within a given time interval.

The velocity of the object is  [tex]v(t)= \sqrt{16 sin^2t+36cos^2t}[/tex] .

What is the velocity?

Velocity can be defined as the change in the displacement x of an object with respect to a given time interval t.

[tex]v = \dfrac {\Delta x}{\Delta t}[/tex]

The displacement of object in x-direction is x = 4 cos(t) and the displacement of object in y-direction is y = 6 sin(t).

The velocity in the x-direction is calculated as given below.

[tex]v_x = \dfrac {dx}{dt}[/tex]

[tex]v_x = \dfrac {d}{dt} (4cos (t))[/tex]

[tex]v_x = - 4sin (t)[/tex]

The velocity in the y-direction is calculated as given below

[tex]v_y = \dfrac {dy}{dt}[/tex]

[tex]v_y = \dfrac {d}{dt} (6 sin (t))[/tex]

[tex]v_y = 6cos (t)[/tex]

The magnitude of the net velocity can be calculated as given below.

[tex]v(t) = \sqrt{v_x^2 + v_y^2}[/tex]

[tex]v(t) = \sqrt{(-4sin(t))^2 + (6cos(t))^2}[/tex]

[tex]v(t)= \sqrt{16 sin^2t+36cos^2t}[/tex]

Hence we can conclude that the velocity of the object is  [tex]v(t)= \sqrt{16 sin^2t+36cos^2t}[/tex] .
