we have
(dy/dt)2+(dx/dt)2=v2
but as
y=x2/20
dy/dt=(x/10)(dx/dt)
thus we get dx/dt interms of x ---- (i)
and differentiating again we get d2x/dt2 in terms of x
further
dy/dt=(x/10)(dx/dt)
we know dx/dt from (i)
thus
d2y/dt2=1/10(dx/dt)2 +x/10(d2x/dt2)
we get ay and ax
thus acceleration =
√(ax2 + ay2)

Ya...
V2 = 36 = ( xVx/10 )2 + Vx2 ----------------@
thn wat v get is :
Ay = Vx2/10 + xAx/10 ----------------@
Applying x =10;
We can get
Ay = 1.8 + Ax; fir kya???
Now how to find Ay2 + Ax2
Coz at the max we hav Ay in terms of Ax, Ax still remains a variable [7]
