An object starts from rest at point F and speeds up continuously as it moves around an oval. a. Choose a point about 1/8 th of the way around the oval from point F, and label it point G. Draw a vector to represent the velocity of the object at point G. b. Determine the change in velocity vector  between points F and G.

Answer:

a) Check the file attached below for the diagram

b) Change in velocity vector between F and G,  [tex]\overrightarrow{\triangle V} = \overrightarrow{V_G}[/tex]

Explanation:

a) The diagram that represents the description is contained in the file attached to this solution. A vector, [tex]V_G[/tex] that represents the velocity of the object at point G is also indicated.

A very good point to note is that the direction of the velocity is always acting tangent to the path

b) The change in velocity vector between F and G

The change in velocity vector is [tex]\overrightarrow{\triangle V} = \overrightarrow{V_G} - \overrightarrow{V_F}[/tex]

Since the object starts from rest at point F, [tex]\overrightarrow{V_F} = 0[/tex]

Therefore, Change in velocity vector between F and G, [tex]\overrightarrow{\triangle V} = \overrightarrow{V_G}[/tex]
