1 mile = 1609.344... meters

1,000 meters = 1 km

(15 miles) x (1609 m/mile) x (1 km/1000 m) =

(15 x 1609 / 1000) (mile-meter-km / mile-meter) = <em>24.14 km</em>

A golf ball is hit off a tee at the edge of a cliff. Its x and y coordinates as functions of time are given by x = 18.0t and y =

In-s [12.5K]

Position: x = 18t y = 4t - 4.9t²

First derivative: x' = 18 y' = 4 - 9.8t

Second derivative: x'' = 0 y'' = - 9.8

Position vector: P = (18t) i + (4t - 4.9t²) j

Velocity vector: V = (18) i + (4 - 9.8t) j

Acceleration vector A = (- 9.8) j

Given a particle that has the velocity v(t) = 3 cos(mt) = 3 cos (0.5t) meters, a. Find the acceleration at 3 seconds. b. Find th

DiKsa [7]

Answer:

a. $\rm -1.49\ m/s^2.$

b. $\rm 50.49\ m.$

Explanation:

<u>Given:</u>

Velocity of the particle, v(t) = 3 cos(mt) = 3 cos (0.5t) .

The acceleration of the particle at a time is defined as the rate of change of velocity of the particle at that time.

$\rm a = \dfrac{dv}{dt}\\=\dfrac{d}{dt}(3\cos(0.5\ t ))\\=3(-0.5\sin(0.5\ t.))\\=-1.5\sin(0.5\ t).$

At time t = 3 seconds,

$\rm a=-1.5\sin(0.5\times 3)=-1.49\ m/s^2.$

<u>Note</u>:<em> The arguments of the sine is calculated in unit of radian and not in degree.</em>

The velocity of the particle at some is defined as the rate of change of the position of the particle.

$\rm v = \dfrac{dr}{dt}.\\\therefore dr = vdt\Rightarrow \int dr=\int v\ dt.$

For the time interval of 2 seconds,

$\rm \int\limits^2_0 dr=\int\limits^2_0 v\ dt\\r(t=2)-r(t=0)=\int\limits^2_0 3\cos(0.5\ t)\ dt$

The term of the left is the displacement of the particle in time interval of 2 seconds, therefore,

$\Delta r=3\ \left (\dfrac{\sin(0.5\ t)}{0.05} \right )\limits^2_0\\=3\ \left (\dfrac{\sin(0.5\times 2)-sin(0.5\times 0)}{0.05} \right )\\=3\ \left (\dfrac{\sin(1.0)}{0.05} \right )\\=50.49\ m.$

It is the displacement of the particle in 2 seconds.
