The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will break it down into two parts as given in the question. ### Part (i): Find the position vector of the particle after 1s. 1. **Identify the components of the initial velocity:** - The particle is projected at an angle of \(30^\circ\) with an initial speed of \(20 \, \text{m/s}\). - The horizontal component of the velocity (\(V_x\)) is given by: \[ V_x = V \cos(\theta) = 20 \cos(30^\circ) = 20 \times \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} = 10\sqrt{3} \, \text{m/s} \] - The vertical component of the velocity (\(V_y\)) is given by: \[ V_y = V \sin(\theta) = 20 \sin(30^\circ) = 20 \times \frac{1}{2} = 10 \, \text{m/s} \] 2. **Calculate the position after 1 second:** - The horizontal position after \(t = 1 \, \text{s}\) is: \[ r_x = V_x \cdot t = 10\sqrt{3} \cdot 1 = 10\sqrt{3} \, \text{m} \] - The vertical position after \(t = 1 \, \text{s}\) is calculated using the equation of motion: \[ r_y = V_y \cdot t - \frac{1}{2} g t^2 \] where \(g = 10 \, \text{m/s}^2\): \[ r_y = 10 \cdot 1 - \frac{1}{2} \cdot 10 \cdot (1)^2 = 10 - 5 = 5 \, \text{m} \] 3. **Combine the components to form the position vector:** - The position vector \( \mathbf{r} \) after 1 second is: \[ \mathbf{r} = r_x \hat{i} + r_y \hat{j} = 10\sqrt{3} \hat{i} + 5 \hat{j} \, \text{m} \] ### Part (ii): Find the angle between the velocity vector and position vector at \(t = 1s\). 1. **Determine the velocity vector at \(t = 1 \, \text{s}\):** - The horizontal component remains constant: \[ V_x = 10\sqrt{3} \, \text{m/s} \] - The vertical component after \(t = 1 \, \text{s}\) is: \[ V_y = V_y - gt = 10 - 10 \cdot 1 = 0 \, \text{m/s} \] - Therefore, the velocity vector \( \mathbf{V} \) is: \[ \mathbf{V} = 10\sqrt{3} \hat{i} + 0 \hat{j} = 10\sqrt{3} \hat{i} \, \text{m/s} \] 2. **Calculate the angle between the position vector and the velocity vector using the dot product:** - The dot product \( \mathbf{V} \cdot \mathbf{r} \) is: \[ \mathbf{V} \cdot \mathbf{r} = (10\sqrt{3} \hat{i}) \cdot (10\sqrt{3} \hat{i} + 5 \hat{j}) = 10\sqrt{3} \cdot 10\sqrt{3} + 0 = 300 \] - The magnitudes of the vectors are: \[ |\mathbf{V}| = 10\sqrt{3} \quad \text{and} \quad |\mathbf{r}| = \sqrt{(10\sqrt{3})^2 + 5^2} = \sqrt{300 + 25} = \sqrt{325} \] 3. **Using the dot product formula:** \[ \mathbf{V} \cdot \mathbf{r} = |\mathbf{V}| |\mathbf{r}| \cos(\theta) \] Substituting the values: \[ 300 = (10\sqrt{3}) \cdot \sqrt{325} \cos(\theta) \] Rearranging gives: \[ \cos(\theta) = \frac{300}{10\sqrt{3} \cdot \sqrt{325}} = \frac{30}{\sqrt{3} \cdot \sqrt{325}} = \frac{10\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{325}} \] 4. **Finding the angle:** \[ \theta = \cos^{-1}\left(\frac{10\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{325}}\right) \] ### Final Answers: (i) The position vector after 1 second is \( \mathbf{r} = 10\sqrt{3} \hat{i} + 5 \hat{j} \, \text{m} \). (ii) The angle between the velocity vector and position vector at \(t = 1s\) is \( \theta = \cos^{-1}\left(\frac{10\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{325}}\right) \).
