A moderate wind accelerates a pebble over a horizontal xy plane with a constant acceleration a with arrow = (4.60 m/s2)i hat + (7.00 m/s2)j. At time t = 0, the velocity is (4.3 m/s)i hat. What are magnitude and angle of its velocity when it has been displaced by 11.0 m parallel to the x axis?

[tex]\Rightarrow x=ut+0.5at^2 \\\Rightarrow 11=4.3t+0.5(4.6)t^2\\\Rightarrow 2.3t^2+4.3t-11=0\\\Rightarrow (t-1.4435)(t+3.3131)=0\\\Rightarrow t=1.44\ s\quad [\text{Neglecting negative time}]\\[/tex]

Velocity acquired during this time

[tex]\Rightarrow v_x=4.3+4.6\times 1.44\\\Rightarrow v_x=4.3+6.624\\\Rightarrow v_x=10.92\ s[/tex]

Consider vertical motion

[tex]\Rightarrow v_y=0+7(1.44)\\\Rightarrow v_y=10.08\ m/s[/tex]

Net velocity is

[tex]\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{10.92^2+10.08^2}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{220.85}\\\Rightarrow v=14.86\ m/s[/tex]

Angle made is

[tex]\Rightarrow \tan \theta =\dfrac{10.08}{10.92}\\\\\Rightarrow \tan \theta =0.92307\\\\\Rightarrow \theta =42.7^{\circ}[/tex]
