Answer:
The correct option is;
Step-by-step explanation:
The given parameters are
The equation of motion of one (the first) object is r = 4·cos(θ)
The equation of motion of the other (the second) object is r = -1 + 2·cos(θ)
Equating both equations gives;
4·cos(θ) = -1 + 2·cos(θ)
4·cos(θ) - 2·cos(θ) = -1
2·cos(θ) = -1
cos(θ) = -1/2
θ = Arccos(-1/2) = 120° = 2·π/3
Therefore, the two equations are equal when θ = 2·π/3 for which we have;
r = 4·cos(2π/3) = -2 and r = -1 + 2·cos(2π/3) = -2
∴ r = 4·cos(2π/3) = -1 + 2·cos(2π/3) = -2
The coordinate that represents a possible collision point of the objects in the form (r, θ) is therefore
