Problem 1.27

A particle moves in the plane \(x y\) with constant acceleration w directed along the negative \(y\) axis. The equation of motion of the particle has the form \(y=a x-b x^{2},\) where \(a\) and \(b\) are positive constants. Find the velocity of the particle at the origin of coordinates.

Reveal Answer
v0=V(1+a2)w/2bv_{0}=V \overline{\left(1+a^{2}\right) w / 2 b}
