AP Calculus BC : 9.5 Integrating Vector- Valued Functions- Exam Style questions with Answer- MCQ

Question

At time t≥ 0 , a particle moving in the xy-plane has velocity vector given by \(v(t)=\left \langle 3,2^{-t^{2}} \right \rangle\). If the particle is at the point \((1,\frac{1}{2})\) at time t= 0 , how far is the particle from the origin at time t= 1 ?
A 2.304
B 3.107
C 4.209
D 5.310

Answer/Explanation

 

Question

If a particle moves in the xy-plane so that at time t > 0 its position vector is \(\left ( ln(t^{2}+2t),2t^{2} \right )\), then at time t = 2, its velocity vector is

(A)\(\left ( \frac{3}{4},8 \right )\)
(B)\(\left ( \frac{3}{4},4 \right )\)
(C)\(\left ( \frac{1}{8},8 \right )\)
(D)\(\left ( \frac{1}{8},4 \right )\)
(E)\(\left (- \frac{5}{16},4 \right )\)

Answer/Explanation
