Answer : The velocity vector of the bird as a function of time 2.4\sqrt{1+t^2}

Solution :

x(t)=\alpha t\\\\\frac{dx}{dt}=\alpha

The x-component is, \frac{dx}{dt}=\alpha

y(t)=3.0m-\beta t^2\\\\\frac{dy}{dt}=-2\beta t

The y-component is, \frac{dy}{dt}=-2\beta t

Now we have to calculate the velocity vector of the bird as a function of time.

\overset{\rightarrow}V=\sqrt{x^2+y^2}

Now put the values of x-component and y-component in this equation, we get

\overset{\rightarrow}V=\sqrt{x^2+y^2}=\sqrt{(\alpha)^2+(-2\beta t)^2}=\sqrt{(2.4)^2+(-2\times 1.2\times t)^2}=2.4\sqrt{1+t^2}

Therefore, the velocity vector of the bird as a function of time 2.4\sqrt{1+t^2}

     The derivative of the function space as a function of time is equal to a function of speed as a function of time.

x(t)=2.4t \\  \frac{x(t)}{t}=t \\ v_{x}(t)=t \\  \\ y(t)=3-1.2\times t^2 \\  \frac{y(t)}{t}=1.2\times2t \\ v_{y}(t)=2.4t
   
     The velocity vector is given by the vector sum of the velocities of  both axes.

v_{R}^2(t)=v_{x}^2(t)+v_{y}^2(t) \\ v_{R}^2(t)=(t)^2+(2.4t)^2 \\ \boxed {v_R(t)=2.6t}

What is terminal velocity and when is it reached?
Ne4ueva [31]
Terminal velocity is the velocity at which a falling body experience when its weight is equal to the force resistance of force opposing the fall.

At terminal velocity the acceleration of the body is zero, which implies that the value of the this velocity is a uniform.
