Imagine you were able to throw a ball in a frictionless environment
such as outer space. Once you let go of the ball, it will travel forever
in a straight line, and at a constant speed. (At least until it bumps into
something.)
A car accelerates down the road. The reaction to the tires pushing
on the road is the road pushing on the tires.
Plate Tectonics cause most earthquakes.
Answer:
Solution:
we have given the equation of motion is x(t)=8sint [where t in seconds and x in centimeter]
Position, velocity and acceleration are all based on the equation of motion.
The equation represents the position. The first derivative gives the velocity and the 2nd derivative gives the acceleration.
x(t)=8sint
x'(t)=8cost
x"(t)=-8sint
now at time t=2pi/3,
position, x(t)=8sin(2pi/3)=4*squart(3)cm.
velocity, x'(t)=8cos(2pi/3)==4cm/s
acceleration, x"(t)==8sin(2pi/3)=-4cm/s^2
so at present the direction is in y-axis.
