Consider a particle following the parametric equations
What is the speed of this particle? (You may assume it's constant at all times.)
Please help, and explain how to find the speed.
dx/ dt is the speed of the particle in the x direction = 2
dy/dt is the y direction speed = 3
Use pythagorean theorem to calculate the resultant speed = sqrt (2^2 + 3^2 ) = sqrt 13
