The equation Bold r (t )equals(StartFraction StartRoot 3 EndRoot Over 3 EndFraction t )Bold i plus (t minus 16 t squared )Bold j is the position of a particle in space at time t. Find the angle between the velocity and acceleration vectors at time t equals 0.

Explanation:

Given the position of a particle in space at a time t expressed as;

Velocity of the body at t = 0 will be expressed as shown;

To get the angle between the velocity and acceleration at t = 0, we will use the formula for calculating the dot product of two vectors.

Substituting the values given into the formula, we will have;

Since cos is negative in the second quadrant, the angle between the velocity and acceleration will be 180 - 30 = 150°

so easy. just google the electromagnetic waves and it’ll pop up.
