$\hat{n}\ =\ \ \dfrac{\dfrac{x}{a^2}\hat{i}+\ \dfrac{y}{b^2}\hat{j}+\ \dfrac{z}{c^2}\hat{k}}{\sqrt{(\dfrac{x}{a^2})^2+(\dfrac{y}{b^2})^2+(\dfrac{z}{c^2})^2}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation of ellipsoids,

$u\ =\ \dfrac{x^2}{a^2}+\dfrac{y^2}{b^2}+\dfrac{z^2}{c^2}$

The vector normal to the given equation of ellipsoid will be given by

$\vec{n}\ =\textrm{gradient of u}$

$=\bigtriangledown u$

$=\ (\dfrac{\partial{}}{\partial{x}}\hat{i}+ \dfrac{\partial{}}{\partial{y}}\hat{j}+ \dfrac{\partial{}}{\partial{z}}\hat{k})(\dfrac{x^2}{a^2}+\dfrac{y^2}{b^2}+\dfrac{z^2}{c^2})$

$=\ \dfrac{\partial{(\dfrac{x^2}{a^2})}}{\partial{x}}\hat{i}+\dfrac{\partial{(\dfrac{y^2}{b^2})}}{\partial{y}}\hat{j}+\dfrac{\partial{(\dfrac{z^2}{c^2})}}{\partial{z}}\hat{k}$

$=\ \dfrac{2x}{a^2}\hat{i}+\ \dfrac{2y}{b^2}\hat{j}+\ \dfrac{2z}{c^2}\hat{k}$

Hence, the unit normal vector can be given by,

$\hat{n}\ =\ \dfrac{\vec{n}}{\left|\vec{n}\right|}$

$=\ \dfrac{\dfrac{2x}{a^2}\hat{i}+\ \dfrac{2y}{b^2}\hat{j}+\ \dfrac{2z}{c^2}\hat{k}}{\sqrt{(\dfrac{2x}{a^2})^2+(\dfrac{2y}{b^2})^2+(\dfrac{2z}{c^2})^2}}$

$=\ \dfrac{\dfrac{x}{a^2}\hat{i}+\ \dfrac{y}{b^2}\hat{j}+\ \dfrac{z}{c^2}\hat{k}}{\sqrt{(\dfrac{x}{a^2})^2+(\dfrac{y}{b^2})^2+(\dfrac{z}{c^2})^2}}$

Hence, the unit vector normal to each point of the given ellipsoid surface is

$\hat{n}\ =\ \ \dfrac{\dfrac{x}{a^2}\hat{i}+\ \dfrac{y}{b^2}\hat{j}+\ \dfrac{z}{c^2}\hat{k}}{\sqrt{(\dfrac{x}{a^2})^2+(\dfrac{y}{b^2})^2+(\dfrac{z}{c^2})^2}}$

The formula that describes an object's motion is given by S=ut+1/2at^2 , where S is the distance traveled, u is the initial velo

RSB [31]

S = ut + (1/2)a(t²) Subtract ut from both sides
(1/2)a(t²) = S - ut Multiply both sides by 2
a(t²) = 2s - 2ut Divide both sides by t²
a= 2s/t² - 2u/t

a= (2S - 2ut)/t²

Answer is C) but there should be parentheses around the term (2S-2ut)
