"A particle is moving such that its position is given by:
s = 3cos 2ti + 3sin 2tj
a) confirm the particle is traveling in a circle."
Hey, Ive been really stuck on this problem and Im not really even sure where to get started. My first thoughts were trying to express the equation in some form of x^2 + y^2 = s^2 but i didn't get anywhere with that.
So im pretty stuck, if anyone could atleast give me some clues?
the following questions b c d are simple derivatives and second derivatives finding velocity and acceleration in forms of t. So i would think this question is simple too, if i knew it...
Ive done only some very basic vector stuff, so seeing the i-j hat in with theta is confusing me also.
im having trouble even googling how to do this stuff, so if you know a good video or webpage also would be helpful
thanks
