Answer

$v = 0.942~m/s~~$ and $~~\theta = 90^{\circ}$

Work Step by Step

It is given in the question that $r = 3.00~m$ The center of the circular path is at the position $(0, 3.00~m)$ We can find the angle the particle has moved through at $t = 5.00~s$: $\phi = (\frac{5.00~s}{20.0~s})(360^{\circ}) = 90.0^{\circ}$ Then the particle is at the position $(3.00~m, 3.00~m)$ We can find the particle's speed: $v = \frac{2\pi~r}{T}$ $v = \frac{(2\pi)~(3.00~m)}{20.0~s}$ $v = 0.942~m/s$ When the particle has moved through an angle of $90^{\circ}$ counterclockwise from the origin, the velocity vector is directed in the positive direction of the y axis. The angle relative to the positive direction of the x axis is $\theta = 90^{\circ}$ $v = 0.942~m/s~~$ and $~~\theta = 90^{\circ}$
