The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the momentum vector given and derive the velocity and acceleration vectors from it. Here's a step-by-step breakdown: ### Step 1: Understand the momentum vector The momentum vector is given as: \[ \vec{p}(t) = \cos(\omega t) \hat{i} + \sin(\omega t) \hat{j} \] where \(\omega\) is a constant and \(t\) is time. ### Step 2: Relate momentum to velocity The momentum \(\vec{p}\) is related to velocity \(\vec{v}\) by the equation: \[ \vec{p} = m \vec{v} \] From this, we can express the velocity vector as: \[ \vec{v}(t) = \frac{\vec{p}(t)}{m} = \frac{1}{m} \left( \cos(\omega t) \hat{i} + \sin(\omega t) \hat{j} \right) \] ### Step 3: Differentiate the velocity to find acceleration To find the acceleration \(\vec{a}(t)\), we differentiate the velocity vector with respect to time: \[ \vec{a}(t) = \frac{d\vec{v}}{dt} = \frac{1}{m} \frac{d}{dt} \left( \cos(\omega t) \hat{i} + \sin(\omega t) \hat{j} \right) \] Using the chain rule: \[ \vec{a}(t) = \frac{1}{m} \left( -\omega \sin(\omega t) \hat{i} + \omega \cos(\omega t) \hat{j} \right) \] This simplifies to: \[ \vec{a}(t) = \frac{\omega}{m} \left( -\sin(\omega t) \hat{i} + \cos(\omega t) \hat{j} \right) \] ### Step 4: Check the relationship between \(\vec{v}\) and \(\vec{p}\) From the earlier steps, we have: - \(\vec{v}(t) = \frac{1}{m} \left( \cos(\omega t) \hat{i} + \sin(\omega t) \hat{j} \right)\) - \(\vec{p}(t) = m \vec{v}(t)\) This indicates that \(\vec{v}(t)\) is parallel to \(\vec{p}(t)\). ### Step 5: Check the relationship between \(\vec{a}\) and \(\vec{p}\) Now, we need to check if \(\vec{a}(t)\) is perpendicular to \(\vec{p}(t)\): \[ \vec{a}(t) \cdot \vec{p}(t) = \left( -\frac{\omega}{m} \sin(\omega t) \hat{i} + \frac{\omega}{m} \cos(\omega t) \hat{j} \right) \cdot \left( \cos(\omega t) \hat{i} + \sin(\omega t) \hat{j} \right) \] Calculating the dot product: \[ = -\frac{\omega}{m} \sin(\omega t) \cos(\omega t) + \frac{\omega}{m} \cos(\omega t) \sin(\omega t) = 0 \] Since the dot product is zero, \(\vec{a}(t)\) is perpendicular to \(\vec{p}(t)\). ### Conclusion From the analysis: - \(\vec{v}(t)\) is parallel to \(\vec{p}(t)\). - \(\vec{a}(t)\) is perpendicular to \(\vec{p}(t)\). Thus, the correct statement is: - **Option 4**: \(\vec{v}\) is parallel to \(\vec{p}\) and \(\vec{a}\) is perpendicular to \(\vec{p}\).
