The correct Answer is:
To find the angle between the force and momentum of a particle moving in the xy-plane, we start with the given expression for linear momentum: \[ \vec{P}(t) = A \left( \hat{i} \cos(kt) - \hat{j} \sin(kt) \right) \] ### Step 1: Differentiate the momentum to find the force The force \(\vec{F}(t)\) acting on the particle is given by the time derivative of momentum: \[ \vec{F}(t) = \frac{d\vec{P}}{dt} \] Calculating the derivative: \[ \vec{F}(t) = \frac{d}{dt} \left[ A \left( \hat{i} \cos(kt) - \hat{j} \sin(kt) \right) \right] \] Using the chain rule, we differentiate each component: \[ \vec{F}(t) = A \left( -k \hat{i} \sin(kt) - k \hat{j} \cos(kt) \right) \] This simplifies to: \[ \vec{F}(t) = -Ak \left( \hat{i} \sin(kt) + \hat{j} \cos(kt) \right) \] ### Step 2: Calculate the angle between force and momentum To find the angle \(\theta\) between the vectors \(\vec{F}\) and \(\vec{P}\), we use the dot product formula: \[ \vec{F} \cdot \vec{P} = |\vec{F}| |\vec{P}| \cos(\theta) \] ### Step 3: Calculate the dot product \(\vec{F} \cdot \vec{P}\) Calculating the dot product: \[ \vec{F} \cdot \vec{P} = \left( -Ak \left( \hat{i} \sin(kt) + \hat{j} \cos(kt) \right) \right) \cdot \left( A \left( \hat{i} \cos(kt) - \hat{j} \sin(kt) \right) \right) \] Expanding this: \[ = -Ak \left( A \left( \sin(kt) \cos(kt) - \cos(kt) \sin(kt) \right) \right) \] Notice that the terms cancel out: \[ = -Ak \cdot A \cdot 0 = 0 \] ### Step 4: Determine the angle \(\theta\) Since the dot product \(\vec{F} \cdot \vec{P} = 0\), we have: \[ |\vec{F}| |\vec{P}| \cos(\theta) = 0 \] This implies: \[ \cos(\theta) = 0 \] Thus, the angle \(\theta\) is: \[ \theta = 90^\circ \] ### Final Answer The angle between the force and momentum is \(90^\circ\). ---
