Formula relating time, velocity and acceleration:

Vf = Vi + at (Vf = Final velocity, Vi = initial velocity)

What you're given:
Initial speed, Vi = 5.5 m/s
Acceleration, a = -2.1 m/s^2
Time, t = 0.3 s

Required:
Vf = ?

Plugging in the given information:

Vf = (5.5) + (-2.1)(0.3)
Vf = 4.87 m/s

The bicyclist's speed is 4.87 m/s after 0.3 s.

Which of the following is true for a parallel circuit? The current is the same across all resistors in the circuit. The voltage

wel

A Parallel circuit has certain characteristics and basic rules: A parallel circuit has two or more paths for current to flow through. Voltage is the same across each component of the parallel circuit. The sum of the currents through each path is equal to the total current that flows from the source.

The position of a particle moving along the x-axis depends on the time according to the equation x = ct2 - bt3, where x is in me

Sav [38]

Answer:

(a): $\rm meter/ second^2.$

(b): $\rm meter/ second^3.$

(c): $\rm 2ct-3bt^2.$

(d): $\rm 2c-6bt.$

(e): $\rm t=\dfrac{2c}{3b}.$

Explanation:

Given, the position of the particle along the x axis is

$\rm x=ct^2-bt^3.$

The units of terms $\rm ct^2$ and $\rm bt^3$ should also be same as that of x, i.e., meters.

The unit of t is seconds.

(a):

Unit of $\rm ct^2=meter$

Therefore, unit of $\rm c= meter/ second^2.$

(b):

Unit of $\rm bt^3=meter$

Therefore, unit of $\rm b= meter/ second^3.$

(c):

The velocity v and the position x of a particle are related as

$\rm v=\dfrac{dx}{dt}\\=\dfrac{d}{dx}(ct^2-bt^3)\\=2ct-3bt^2.$

(d):

The acceleration a and the velocity v of the particle is related as

$\rm a = \dfrac{dv}{dt}\\=\dfrac{d}{dt}(2ct-3bt^2)\\=2c-6bt.$

(e):

The particle attains maximum x at, let's say, $\rm t_o$ , when the following two conditions are fulfilled:

$\rm \left (\dfrac{dx}{dt}\right )_{t=t_o}=0.$
$\rm \left ( \dfrac{d^2x}{dt^2}\right )_{t=t_o}$

Applying both these conditions,

$\rm \left ( \dfrac{dx}{dt}\right )_{t=t_o}=0\\2ct_o-3bt_o^2=0\\t_o(2c-3bt_o)=0\\t_o=0\ \ \ \ \ or\ \ \ \ \ 2c=3bt_o\Rightarrow t_o = \dfrac{2c}{3b}.$

For $\rm t_o = 0$ ,

$\rm \left ( \dfrac{d^2x}{dt^2}\right )_{t=t_o}=2c-6bt_o = 2c-6\cdot 0=2c$

Since, c is a positive constant therefore, for $\rm t_o = 0$ ,

$\rm \left ( \dfrac{d^2x}{dt^2}\right )_{t=t_o}>0$

Thus, particle does not reach its maximum value at $\rm t = 0\ s.$

For $\rm t_o = \dfrac{2c}{3b}$ ,

$\rm \left ( \dfrac{d^2x}{dt^2}\right )_{t=t_o}=2c-6bt_o = 2c-6b\cdot \dfrac{2c}{3b}=2c-4c=-2c.$

Here,

$\rm \left ( \dfrac{d^2x}{dt^2}\right )_{t=t_o}$

Thus, the particle reach its maximum x value at time $\rm t_o = \dfrac{2c}{3b}.$
