Question

Starting from a location with position vector r1,x =−17.5 m and r1,y=23.1 m , a rabbit hops around for 10.7 seconds with average velocity vav,x=−2.25 m/s and vav,y=1.79 m/s . Find the components of the position vector of the rabbit's final location, r2,x and r2,y .

Answer 1

The kinematics of the uniform motion allows us to find the final position vector

           r = (-41.575 i + 42.253 j) m

Given parameters

• the starting position x = -17.5 m y = 23.1 m
• jump time t = 10.7 s
• The average velocities vₓ = -2.25 m / s and v_y = 1.79 m / s

to find

• the final position

The uniform motion occurs when the velocity of the bodies is constant, in this case the relationship can be used for each axis

               v = $\frac{x-x_o}{t}$

               x = x₀ + v t

Where vₓ it  is the velocity, x the displacement, x₀ the initial position and t the time

Let's set a reference system with the horizontal x-axis. Regarding which we carry out the measurements

X axis

we look for the final position

           x = x₀ + vₓ t

           x = -17.5 -2.25 10.7

           x = -41.575 m

Y Axis

we look for the final position

           y = y₀ + v_y t

           y = 23.1 + 1.79 10.7

          y = 42.253 m

In conclusion, using the kinematics of uniform motion, find the final position vector

           r = (-41.575 i + 42.253 j) m
