Radial and Transverse Components of Velocity. — Themagnitude of the velocity along the radius vector is, accord-ing to the results of the preceding section, a) Vr ill The expression for the velocity at right angles to r is ob-tained by considering the motion of the projection of tin-particle along a perpendicular ytor. When the particle movesthrough ds, its projectionmoves through r dd, Fig. 50,therefore the required velocityis rdd dt do -nr— = (2). The components vr and vp may be expressed in terms of xand y by differentiating the equations of transformation r2=a;2+ya (3) A (4) and 6 = tan 82 ANALYTICAL MECHANICS with respect to the time. Differentiating (3) we obtaindrV=dt_x dx y dyr dt r dt= i cos 0 + ?/sin 0. (5) Differentiating (4) we get dd v = r — p dt _rxy-yx x2 + y2 = ycosd-x sin 0.

(b) Find the equation of the path, the velocity at any instant, and the com-ponents of the latter. Squaring and adding (a) and (b) we eliminate t and obtainX2 -f if = o* Y for the equation of the (a), we have . dxX = dJ = —ha si i kt = -ky. Differentiating (b), we obtain . dy = ka ens kt= fee.
