An object has a position given by the radius vector r = [2.0 m + (3.00 m/s)t](i)+ [3.0 m - (2.00 m/s^2)t^2](j). Here (i) and (j) are the unit vectors along x and y and all quantities are in SI units. What is the speed and magnitude of the acceleration in m/s^2 of the object at time t = 2.00 s

The speed of the object is ()m/s

The magnitude of the acceleration is 4.00m/s²

Explanation:

Given - position vector;

r = (2.0 + 3.00t)i + (3.0 - 2.00t²)j       -------------------(i)

To get the speed vector (), take the first derivative of equation (i) with respect to time t as follows;

=

  =  

 =      ------------------------(ii)

To get the acceleration vector (), take the first derivative of the speed vector in equation(ii) as follows;

j

The magnitude of the acceleration |a| is therefore given by

|a| = |-4.00|

|a| = 4.00 m/s²

In conclusion;

the speed of the object is ()m/s

the magnitude of the acceleration is 4.00m/s²

answer: pseudoscience

air exerts forces on falling objects near earth’s surface.

explanation:

the term 'free falls' refer to object that are falling towards the earth, in a situation in which gravity is the only force acting on the object.

for an object in free fall, the acceleration is constant (g, the gravitational acceleration), and so the velocity of the object constantly increases.

for objects near earth's surface, there is always another force acting on the object: the resistance due to the air. this force is opposed to the direction of fall of the object, and it is proportional to the velocity of the object, so as the object falls down, this force increases up to a point when it balances the force of gravity, and the object continues its motion at constant velocity (called terminal velocity). since in this case gravity is not the only force acting on the object, we are not in a situation of free fall.
