Polar Coordinates: The trajectory of a particle is specified in polar coordinates as a function of time as V = r + 0 = log(1 + V^2).1.1 Find formulas for the velocity and acceleration of the particle as a function of V and t using the polar coordinate system. Find a formula for the speed of the particle in terms of V.1.2 Hence, find the normal and tangential components of acceleration of the particle.1.3 Hence, find a formula for the radius of curvature of the path as a function of t (or r).

In polar coordinates, the position of a point particle is described by the vector r(t). Where r(t) is the radial coordinate and θ(t) is the angular coordinate. The parameter t represents time. Knowing that r = r(t) and θ = θ(t), where r is the unit vector in the radial direction and θ is the unit vector in the angular direction, use the chain rule to show that the velocity and acceleration vectors are, respectively:

v = r'(t) + r(t)θ'(t),a = (r”(t) – r(t)θ'(t)^2)r(t) + (2r'(t)θ'(t) + r(t)θ”(t))θ(t).

Notation: The prime denotes derivative with respect to time. Remark: v is the tangential velocity (v = r'(t)), ω is the angular velocity (ω = θ'(t)), ac is the centripetal acceleration (ac = r(t)θ'(t)^2), and cor is the Coriolis acceleration (cor = 2r'(t)θ'(t)).
