The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will follow the given information and apply the necessary equations. ### Step 1: Determine the position coordinates of the particle. Given the curve equation \( y = x^2 \) and the x-coordinate \( x = \frac{1}{2} \): 1. Substitute \( x = \frac{1}{2} \) into the equation: \[ y = \left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^2 = \frac{1}{4} \] 2. Therefore, the position coordinates of the particle are: \[ (x, y) = \left(\frac{1}{2}, \frac{1}{4}\right) \] ### Step 2: Find the equation of the tangent line at the point. To find the equation of the tangent line at the point \( \left(\frac{1}{2}, \frac{1}{4}\right) \): 1. Differentiate \( y = x^2 \) with respect to \( x \): \[ \frac{dy}{dx} = 2x \] 2. Evaluate the slope at \( x = \frac{1}{2} \): \[ \text{slope} = 2 \times \frac{1}{2} = 1 \] 3. Use the point-slope form of the line equation: \[ y - y_1 = m(x - x_1) \] Substituting \( m = 1 \), \( x_1 = \frac{1}{2} \), and \( y_1 = \frac{1}{4} \): \[ y - \frac{1}{4} = 1\left(x - \frac{1}{2}\right) \] 4. Rearranging gives: \[ y - \frac{1}{4} = x - \frac{1}{2} \implies 4y - 1 = 4x - 2 \implies 4x - 4y - 1 = 0 \] ### Step 3: Calculate the magnitude of the velocity. Given that the x-component of velocity \( v_x = 4 \, \text{m/s} \): 1. Find the y-component of velocity \( v_y \): - Differentiate \( y = x^2 \) with respect to time \( t \): \[ \frac{dy}{dt} = 2x \frac{dx}{dt} \implies v_y = 2x v_x \] - Substitute \( x = \frac{1}{2} \) and \( v_x = 4 \): \[ v_y = 2 \times \frac{1}{2} \times 4 = 4 \, \text{m/s} \] 2. Calculate the magnitude of the velocity \( v \): \[ v = \sqrt{v_x^2 + v_y^2} = \sqrt{4^2 + 4^2} = \sqrt{16 + 16} = \sqrt{32} = 4\sqrt{2} \, \text{m/s} \] ### Final Answers: 1. Position coordinates: \( \left(\frac{1}{2}, \frac{1}{4}\right) \) 2. Equation of the tangent line: \( 4x - 4y - 1 = 0 \) 3. Magnitude of velocity: \( 4\sqrt{2} \, \text{m/s} \)

To solve the problem step by step, we will follow the given information and apply the necessary equations. ### Step 1: Determine the position coordinates of the particle. Given the curve equation \( y = x^2 \) and the x-coordinate \( x = \frac{1}{2} \): 1. Substitute \( x = \frac{1}{2} \) into the equation: \[ y = \left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^2 = \frac{1}{4} ...
