In general it is best to conceptualize vectors as arrows in space, and then to make calculations with them using their components. (You must first specify a coordinate system in order to find the components of each arrow.) This problem gives you some practice with the components. Let vectors A = (1,0, -3), B=(-2,5,1), and =(3,1,1). Calculate the following, and express your answers as ordered triplets of values separated by commas. ▸ Part A ▸ Part B Part C -A+B-C-(0,4,3) Submit 15.

A particle is moving on top of a 2-dimensional. plane with its coordinates given in cartesian system as x(t) =a sin ωt, y(t) = a cos ωt. Express the motion of the particle in terms of polar coordinates (ρ, φ). What is the minimum number ofgeneralised coordinates required to describe. its motion? Draw the. trajectory of the particle.
Our unforced spring mass model is mx00 + βx0 + kx = 0 with m, β, k >0. We know physically that our spring will eventually come to rest nomatter the initial conditions or the values of m, β, or k. If our modelis a good model, all solutions x(t) should approach 0 as t → ∞. Foreach of the three cases below, explain how we know that both rootsr1,2 =−β ± Sqrt(β^2 − 4km)/2mwill lead to solutions that exhibit exponentialdecay.(a) β^2 − 4km > 0. (b) β^2 − 4km =0. (c) β^2 − 4km >= 0.

(You cannot just say that the generalized coordinates are "r", "0" etc. You should indicate what they are using diagrams.) (a) A particle constrained to move on a plane. (b) A spring pendulum contained in the (x, y) plane, where a mass is attached to an endpoint of a spring of elastic constant k and equilibrium length 1. The other endpoint of the spring is fixed at the origin. (c) A (pointlike) satellite moving in the gravitational field of Earth.
