Problem

A point moves in the plane xy according to the law x = at, y = at (1. — at), where a and a are positive constants, and t is time. Find: (a) the equation of the point's trajectory y (x); plot this function; (b) the velocity v and the acceleration w of the point as functions of time; (c) the moment t, at which the velocity vector forms an angle It/4 with the acceleration vector_
