where, `vecr_(0)` is the position vector at t = 0 and
`vecv_(0)` is the velocity at t = 0
Here, `vecr_(0) = 0, vecv_(0) = 5hati ms^(-1), veca = (3hati + 2hatj) ms^(-2)`
`therefore vecr = 5thati +(1)/(2)(3hati +2hatj) t^(2) = (5t + 1.5t^(2))hati + 1t^(2)hatj " "..(i)`
Compare it with `vecr = x hati + y hatj,` we get
`x = 5t + 1.5t^(2), y = 1t^(2)`
`because x = 84 m`
`therefore 84 = 5t + 1.5t^(2)`
On solving,we get t = 6 s
At t = 6 s, y = (1) `(6)^(2) = 36` m

`=5hatit+(1//2)(3hati+2hatj)t^(2)`
`=(t+1.5t^(2))hati+t^(2)hatj`
Therefore, `x(t)=5t+1.5t^(2),y(t)=t^(2)`
`5t+1.5t^(2)=84rArr t=6s`
At `t=6s,y=(6)^(2)=36 m`
`vecv=(dvecr)/dt=(5+3 t)hati+2t hatj`
At `t=6s,vecv=23hati+12hatj`
speed `=|vecv|=sqrt(23^(2)+12^(12))=26ms^(-1)`

`a=upsilon((d upsilon)/(ds))=(10)(-(20)/(30))=-(20)/(3)ms^(-2)`
400.

An aeroplne `A` is flying horizontally due east at a speed of `400 km//hr`.Passengers in `A`, observe another aeroplane `B` moving perpendicular to direction of motion of `A`.Aeroplane `B` is actually moving in a direction `30^(@)` north of east in the same horizontal plane as shown in the figure.Determine the velocity of `B` A. `400sqrt3hati+400sqrt3hatj`B. `400hati+400/(sqrt(3))hatj`C. `400hati+400hatj`D. `400/sqrt3hati+400hatj`

Answer» Correct Answer - B
`vecV_(A)=400hati, vecV_(B)=v_(B) cos 30^(@) hati+v_(B) sin 30^(@) hatj`
`vecV_(B)=(v_(B)sqrt3)/2hati+v_(B)/2hatj,`
`vecV_(B//A)=vecV_(B)-vecV_(A)`
`vecV_(B)=(v_(B)sqrt3/2hati+v_(b)/2hatj)-400hati`
`vecV_(B//A)=(v_(B)sqrt3/2hati-400)hati+v_(B)/2hatj`
`sqrt3v_(B)-800=0,v_(B)=/800/sqrt3,vecV_(B)=400hati+400/sqrt3hatj`
