8. A turtle crawls along a straight line, which we will call the x-axis with the positive direction to the right. The equation f

or the turtle's position as a function of time is x(t) = 5.0 cm + (4.00 cm/s) - (0.625 cm/s2)t2. (a) Find the turtle's initial velocity, initial position, and initial acceleration. (b) At what time is the velocity of the turtle zero? (c) How long after starting does it take the turtle to return to its starting point? (d) At what times t is the turtle a distance of 30.00 cm from its starting point? What is the velocity at each of these times?​

(a) The turtle's initial velocity is 4 m/s, initial position of the turtle is 5 cm, and initial acceleration is -1.25 m/s².

(b) The time when the velocity of the turtle is zero is 3.2 s.

(c) The time taken for the turtle to return to its starting point is 6.4 s.

(d) The time taken for the turtle to travel 30 cm is 0.08 s.

<h3>Initial velocity of the turtle</h3>

The initial velocity of the turtle is calculated as follows;

v = \frac{dx}{dt} \\\\x = 5 + 4t -0.625t^2\\\\v(t) = 4 - 1.25t\\\\v(0) = 4-0\\\\v(0) = 4 \ m/s

<h3>Initial acceleration of the turtle</h3>

The initial acceleration of the turtle is calculated as follows;

a = \frac{dv}{dt} \\\\v(t) = 4 - 1.25t\\\\a = -1.25\ m/s^2

<h3>Initial position of the turtle</h3>

x(t) = 5 + 4t - 0.625t²

x(0) = 5 cm

<h3>Time when the velocity becomes zero</h3>

v(t) = 4 - 1.25t

0 = 4 - 1.25t

1.25t = 4

t = 4/1.25

t = 3.2 s

<h3>Time taken to return to starting point</h3>

The total distance traveled is calculated as follows

v² = u² + 2ad

0 = (4)² + 2(-1.25)d

0 = 16 - 2.5d

2.5d = 16

d = 16/2.5

d = 6.4 m

Time to travel the given distance;

d = ut + ¹/₂at²

6.4 = (4)t + ¹/₂(-1.25)t²

6.4 = 4t - 0.625t²

0.625t² - 4t + 6.4 = 0

solve the quadratic equation using formula method;

t = 3.2 s

The time travel the distance two times, = 2 x 3.2 s = 6.4 s

<h3>Time taken for the turtle to travel 30 cm</h3>

d = ut + ¹/₂at²

0.3 = (4)t + ¹/₂(-1.25)t²

0.3 = 4t - 0.625t²

0.625t² - 4t + 0.3 = 0

solve the quadratic equation using formula method;

t = 0.08 s

After the great 1906 San Francisco earthquake, geolophysicistHarry Fielding Reid examined the displacement of the ground surface along the San Andreas Fault. He concluded that the quake must have been the result of the elastic reboundof the strain energy in the rocks on either side of the fault.

What is the period of a wave with a frequency of 100 Hz and a wavelength of 2.0 m
spin [16.1K]

The answer for the following answer is answered below.

  • <u><em>Therefore the time period of the wave is 0.01 seconds.</em></u>
  • <u><em>Therefore the option for the answer is "B".</em></u>

Explanation:

Frequency (f):

The number of  waves that pass a fixed place in a given amount of time.

The SI unit of frequency is Hertz (Hz)

Time period (T):

The time taken for one complete cycle of vibration to pass a given point.

The SI unit of time period is seconds (s)

Given:

frequency (f) = 100 Hz

wavelength (λ) = 2.0 m

To calculate:

Time period (T)

We know;

According to the formula;

<u>f =</u>\frac{1}{T}<u></u>

Where,

f represents the frequency

T represents the time period

from the formula;

  T = \frac{1}{f}

 T = \frac{1}{100}

  T = 0.01 seconds

<u><em>Therefore the time period of the wave is 0.01 seconds.</em></u>

I need help with questions 6-8. Thank you!! Image is attached
Digiron [165]

6) b) 2.7 m/s

7) b) DCA

8) b) B

Explanation:

6)

In a displacement-time plot, the slope of the line is given by

m=\frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x}

where

\Delta y is the change in the y-variable, so it is the displacement

\Delta x is the change in the x-variable, so it is the time elapsed

So, the slope of the line in a displacement-time plot corresponds to the velocity:

v=m=\frac{d}{t}

Therefore, to find the velocity of the object, we have to estimate the slope of its curve.

To estimate the velocity of object B, we have to estimate the slope of the line tangent to curve B at 10 seconds.

By doing an estimate by eye, we see that the displacement of object B changes from -10 m to 0 m when time increases from about 8 s to 12 s, so the velocity is about:

v=\frac{0-(-10)}{12-8}\sim 2.5 m/s

So the closest option is b) 2.7 m/s.

7)

As we said in part A, the velocity of each object is given by the slope of each curve.

Therefore:

- The steeper the curve, the higher the velocity

- The less steep the curve, the lower the velocity

From the graph, we observe that, among A, C and D:

- Curve D has the largest slope (in absolute value), so object D has the largest magnitude of the velocity

- Curve C is less steep than curve C, so object C has the second largest magnitude of velocity

- Curve A is flat, so the slope is zero, so its velocity is zero

So, from greatest magnitude to lowest magnitude of velocity, we have:

b) DCA

8)

In the graph, the overall displacement of each object is given by the change in the y-variable, \Delta y.

This means that the object with largest displacement is the object whose curve has the largest variation in y.

From the graph, we see that:

- Object b has the largest variation in y,  from -15 m to 30 m, so

\Delta y=30-(-15)=45 m

- Then, object D has the second largest displacement (in magnitude), from -15 m to 25 m,

|\Delta y| = 25 -(-15)=40 m

Finally, object C has displacement

\Delta y = 20-(-5)=25 m

While object A has displacement zero. Therefore, the correct option is

b) B
