r+Δx=d
⇒r=d-Δx
Thus the distance between focus and directrix is d and the distance between particles is always equal to distance between P2 and directrix. Thus the path is parabolic. Am I right, sir?
I am not sure about ω because the two particle system can not be treated as a rigid body. So how can we say that ω with respect to (w.r.t) ground frame will be same as that w.r.t. any inertial frame?
And for trajectory, can we not give some qualitative or intuitive argument without forming the...
Homework Statement

A particle P1 moves with a constant velocity v along x-axis, starting from origin. Another particle
P2 chases particle P1
with constant speed v, starting from the point (0, d). Both motion begin
simultaneously. Find -
1. Initial acceleration of P2.
2. Ultimate...
