\vec r(t)=bt^2\,\vec\imath+ct^3\,\vec\jmath

The velocity at time t is

\dfrac{\mathrm d\vec r(t)}{\mathrm dt}=2bt\,\vec\imath+3ct^2\,\vec\jmath

Take two vectors that point in the positive x and positive y directions, such as \vec\imath and \vec\jmath. The dot products of the velocity vector with \vec\imath and \vec\jmath are

\dfrac{\mathrm d\vec r(t)}{\mathrm dt}\cdot\vec\imath=2bt=\sqrt{4b^2t^2+9c^2t^4}\cos\theta

and

\dfrac{\mathrm d\vec r(t)}{\mathrm dt}\cdot\vec\jmath=3ct^2=\sqrt{4b^2t^2+9c^2t^4}\cos\theta

We want the angles between these vectors to be 45º, for which we have \cos45^\circ=\frac1{\sqrt2}. So

\begin{cases}2\sqrt2\,bt=\sqrt{4b^2t^2+9c^2t^4}\\3\sqrt2\,ct^2=\sqrt{4b^2t^2+9c^2t^4}\end{cases}\implies3\sqrt2\,ct^2-2\sqrt2\,bt=0

\implies t(3ct-2b)=0

\implies t=0\text{ or }t=\dfrac{2b}{3c}

When t=0, the velocity vector is equal to the zero vector, which technically has no direction/doesn't make an angle with any other vector. So the only time this happens is for

\boxed{t=\dfrac{2b}{3c}}

An infinite sheet of charge, oriented perpendicular to the x-axis, passes through x = 0. It has a surface charge density σ1 = -2
pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

E_{total}=4.82*10^6N/C

vector with direction equal to the axis X.

Explanation:

We use the Gauss Law and the superposition law in order to solve this problem.

<u>Superposition Law:</u> the Total Electric field is the sum of the electric field of the first infinite sheet and the Electric field of the second infinite sheet:

E_{total}=E_1+E_2

<u>Thanks Gauss Law</u> we know that the electric field of a infinite sheet with density of charge σ is:

E=\sigma/(2\epsilon_o)

Then:

E_{total}=(\sigma_1+\sigma_2)/(2\epsilon_o)=(-2.7*10^{-6}+88*10^{-6})/(2*8.85*10^{-12})=4.82*10^6N/C

This electric field has a direction in the axis perpendicular to the sheets, that means it has the same direction as the axis X.
