The correct Answer is:
To find the magnitude of the velocity of the particle at any time \( t \), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Define the position vector The position of the particle is given by the equations: - \( x = 2 \sin t \) - \( y = 3 \cos t \) - \( z = \sqrt{5} \sin t \) We can express the position vector \( \mathbf{r} \) as: \[ \mathbf{r} = 2 \sin t \, \hat{i} + 3 \cos t \, \hat{j} + \sqrt{5} \sin t \, \hat{k} \] ### Step 2: Differentiate to find the velocity vector The velocity vector \( \mathbf{v} \) is the derivative of the position vector with respect to time \( t \): \[ \mathbf{v} = \frac{d\mathbf{r}}{dt} = \frac{dx}{dt} \hat{i} + \frac{dy}{dt} \hat{j} + \frac{dz}{dt} \hat{k} \] Calculating each component: - \( \frac{dx}{dt} = \frac{d}{dt}(2 \sin t) = 2 \cos t \) - \( \frac{dy}{dt} = \frac{d}{dt}(3 \cos t) = -3 \sin t \) - \( \frac{dz}{dt} = \frac{d}{dt}(\sqrt{5} \sin t) = \sqrt{5} \cos t \) Thus, the velocity vector is: \[ \mathbf{v} = 2 \cos t \, \hat{i} - 3 \sin t \, \hat{j} + \sqrt{5} \cos t \, \hat{k} \] ### Step 3: Calculate the magnitude of the velocity The magnitude of the velocity \( |\mathbf{v}| \) is given by: \[ |\mathbf{v}| = \sqrt{ \left( \frac{dx}{dt} \right)^2 + \left( \frac{dy}{dt} \right)^2 + \left( \frac{dz}{dt} \right)^2 } \] Substituting the components: \[ |\mathbf{v}| = \sqrt{(2 \cos t)^2 + (-3 \sin t)^2 + (\sqrt{5} \cos t)^2} \] Calculating each term: - \( (2 \cos t)^2 = 4 \cos^2 t \) - \( (-3 \sin t)^2 = 9 \sin^2 t \) - \( (\sqrt{5} \cos t)^2 = 5 \cos^2 t \) Combining these: \[ |\mathbf{v}| = \sqrt{4 \cos^2 t + 9 \sin^2 t + 5 \cos^2 t} \] \[ |\mathbf{v}| = \sqrt{(4 + 5) \cos^2 t + 9 \sin^2 t} \] \[ |\mathbf{v}| = \sqrt{9 \cos^2 t + 9 \sin^2 t} \] Using the Pythagorean identity \( \cos^2 t + \sin^2 t = 1 \): \[ |\mathbf{v}| = \sqrt{9(\cos^2 t + \sin^2 t)} = \sqrt{9} = 3 \] ### Final Answer The magnitude of the velocity of the particle at any time \( t \) is \( 3 \).

To find the magnitude of the velocity of the particle at any time \( t \), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Define the position vector The position of the particle is given by the equations: - \( x = 2 \sin t \) - \( y = 3 \cos t \) - \( z = \sqrt{5} \sin t \) ...
