Just look at the graph, and find a curve that has fallen to
half of its original value 95 = 47.5 in 13 B years.

Do I really hafta tell you which one it is ?

It's curve ' C ' .

A potential energy function is given by U(x)=(3.00J)x+(1.00J/m2)x3. What is the force function F(x) (in newtons) that is associa

Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

$F(x)=-3 N - (3N)x^2$

Explanation:

The force is defined as the negative of the derivative of the potential energy:

$F=-\frac{dU}{dx}$

If we use the potential energy function given in this problem:

$U(x)=3.00 x + 1.00 x^3$

and we calculate the force, we get:

$F(x)=-\frac{d}{dx}(3x+x^3)=-3-3x^2$

So, the force is

$F(x)=-3 N - (3N)x^2$

A drag racing car with a weight of 1600 lbf attains a speed of 270 mph in a quarter-mile race. Immediately after passing the tim

Kaylis [27]

Answer:

15.065ft

Explanation:

To solve this problem it is necessary to consider the aerodynamic concepts related to the Drag Force.

By definition the drag force is expressed as:

$F_D = -\frac{1}{2}\rho V^2 C_d A$

Where

$\rho$ is the density of the flow

V = Velocity

$C_d$ = Drag coefficient

A = Area

For a Car is defined the drag coefficient as 0.3, while the density of air in normal conditions is 1.21kg/m^3

For second Newton's Law the Force is also defined as,

$F=ma=m\frac{dV}{dt}$

Equating both equations we have:

$m\frac{dV}{dt}=-\frac{1}{2}\rho V^2 C_d A$

$m(dV)=-\frac{1}{2}\rho C_d A (dt)$

$\frac{1}{V^2 }(dV)=-\frac{1}{2m}\rho C_d A (dt)$

Integrating

$\int \frac{1}{V^2 }(dV)= - \int\frac{1}{2m}\rho C_d A (dt)$

$-\frac{1}{V}\big|^{V_f}_{V_i}=\frac{1}{2m}(\rho)C_d (\pi r^2) \Delta t$

Here,

$V_f = 60mph = 26.82m/s$

$V_i = 120.7m/s$

$m= 1600lbf = 725.747Kg$

$\rho = 1.21 kg/m^3$

$C_d = 0.3$

$\Delta t=7s$

Replacing:

$\frac{-1}{26.82}+\frac{1}{120.7} = \frac{1}{2(725.747)}(1.21)(0.3)(\pi r^2) (7)$

$-0.029 = -5.4997r^2$

$r = 2.2963m$

$d= r*2 = 4.592m \approx 15.065ft$
