Further Mathematics
WAEC 2010

The position vector of a particle of mass 3 kg moving along a space curve is given by \(r = (4t^{3} - t^{2})i - (2t^{2} - t)j\) at any time t seconds. Find the force acting on it at t = 2 seconds.

Explanation

\(r = (4t^{3} - t^{2})i - (2t^{2} - t)j\)

\(v = \frac{\mathrm d r}{\mathrm d t} = (12t^{2} - 2t)i - (4t - 1)j\)

\(a = \frac{\mathrm d v}{\mathrm d t} = (24t - 2)i - 4j\)

\(t = 2 : a = (24(2) - 2)i - 4j\)

\(a = 46i - 4j\)

\(F = ma = 3(46i - 4j)\)

= \(138i - 12j)N\)
