[7 pts] 1. Suppose that a car starts from rest, its engine providing an acceleration of 4 ft/s2 while air resistance provides 0.
1 ft/s2 of deceleration for each ft per s (foot per second) of the car’s velocity. Set up an Initial Value Problem (IVP) for the velocity of the car. Solve the IVP and use the solution to find the car’s limiting velocity. If the car starts at position x(0) = x0 = 0, ft, what position will it be at after 1 2 hour? Be sure to set up your coordinate system and include units in all of your answers.
1 answer:
Answer:
a) Initial Value Problem
dv/dt = 4 - 0.1v
v(0) = 0
b) solution to the IVP
v(t) = 40(1 - e^(-t/10))
c) Limiting velocity
Vo = 40 ft/s
Position of the car after 12 hours
X = 14,390 ft

Let the key is free falling, therefore from equation of motion
.
Take initial velocity, u=0, so
.
As velocity moves with constant velocity of 3.5 m/s, therefore we can use formula
From above substituting t,
.
Now substituting all the given values and g = 9.8 m/s^2, we get
.
Thus, the distance the boat was from the point of impact when the key was released is 10.60 m.
Answer:
No, not necessarily
Explanation:
If an object is moving with an acceleration that causes its speed to be reduced, there will be a moment in which it reaches v = 0, but this doesn't necessarily mean that the acceleration isn't acting anymore. If the object continues its movement with the same acceleration, it's velocity will become negative.
An example of an object that has zero velocity but non-zero acceleration:
If you throw an object in the air with a certain velocity, it will move vertically, reducing its velocity in a 9,8 rate (which is the acceleration caused by gravity). At a certain point, the object will reach its maximum height, and will start to fall. In the exact moment that it reaches the maximum height, before it starts falling, its velocity is zero, but gravity is still acting on the object (this is the reason why it starts falling instead of just being stopped at that point). Therefore, at that point, the object has zero velocity but an acceleration of 9,8

It takes 20347.4098071s for light from the sun to reach Pluto.
The 6.1*10^9 is replaced by 6.1*10^12 on line 4 because we convert the distance from km to m.
c = speed of light. If a different value was given in the previous question then use that instead of the value I used to do the final calculation.
