APFIVE Properties of Parametrically Defined Motion
All of the following statements regarding the particle’s motion defined by $$x(t)=t^2-3*t$$ and $$y(t)=2*t+1$$ are true except:
A
The particle reaches a horizontal extremum at $$t=0$$.
B
The vertical motion, described by $$y(t)=2*t+1$$, is linear, implying a constant vertical velocity.
C
The horizontal motion, given by $$x(t)=t^2-3*t$$, is quadratic and its vertex represents the horizontal extremum.
D
Differentiating $$x(t)$$ and $$y(t)$$ with respect to $$t$$ provides the components of the particle’s velocity vector.
