INTRODUCTION
Motion in space in the unique chapter that we have in vector calculus. In this Motion in Space, we
will focus on the mathematical tools that we used in physics. In this chapter also we will learn how
to find velocity and acceleration. We began the formula with the vector function which is r(t). It is
represented as displacement of an object at time t.
𝑟(𝑡) = 𝑥(𝑡)𝑖  +  𝑦(𝑡)𝑗 + 𝑧(𝑡)𝑘

Above is the vector – valued function. From r(t) we can find velocity and acceleration by
differentiating r(t). The velocity of this object is.
𝑣(𝑡)  =  𝑟 ′ (𝑡)

Speeds are the most important component for the calculation of object velocity. The formula used
in finding the speed value is |𝑣(𝑡)|. Differentiation methods will be used in finding acceleration.
Then, the formula for position, velocity, acceleration, and speed will be provided in the table
below.

PROBLEM STATEMENT

Figure 1.1

Based on figure 1.1 a firefighter was firing water at a burning building 150m from the building. In
this situation, the firefighter directed the fire hose from ground level at a 45° angle. When
firefighters fired a stream of water into the burning building, the water pressure released was high
with a speed of 40 m/s. The fire hose water is hit 1m above ground level. Whether the water flow
released from the fire hose water managed to extinguish the fire in the burning building with a
height of 10m.
What is the maximum high does water spray water rises?

How far does hose spray water travel horizontally?

Whether hose water spray managed to pass the building which is 10m and located 150m away
horizontally.

Substitute value of t into y(t).

𝑦(𝑡) = [1 + 20√2(2.8832) − 4.91(2.8832) 2 ]
