T=x/2 trajectory equation is y=x? +5
2. Motion synthesis
The speed in the X direction is x'=2, and the speed in the Y direction is y'=8t+5.
Bring t in, calculate the velocities in the x and y directions respectively, and then synthesize.
The acceleration in the x direction is x'' = 0, and the acceleration in the y direction is y''=8.
So the acceleration is 8.
