The position co-ordinates of a particle moving in a 3D coordinate system is given by

x=acosωt

y=asinωt

and z=aωt

The speed of the particle is:
  1. 2 aω
  2. aω
  3. 2aω
  4. 3 aω

Solution

x=acosωt

y=asinωt

z=a ωt

vx=-aωsinωt

vy=aωcosωt

v2=aω

v=vx2+vy2+vz2

=-aωsinωt2+aωcosωt2+aω2

=aω2
