The particle travels along the path defined by the parabola y=0.5x2, where x and y are in ft. 1- if the component of velocity along the x axis is vx=(8t)ft/s, where t is in seconds, determine the particle's distance from the origin o t = 3 s. when t=0, x=0, y=0. 2- determine the magnitude of its acceleration when t = 3 s.
