A small particle starts from rest from the origin of an xy-coordinate system and travels in the xy-plane. Its acceleration in th

e x-direction is 2m/s^2, and its acceleration in the y-direction is 1m/s^2. What is the x-coordinate of the particle when the y-coordinate is 12m?

<h2>Answer:</h2>

24m

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

Consider one of the equations of motion as follows;

s = ut + \frac{1}{2}at²            ----------------------------(i)

Where;

s = vertical/horizontal displacement of the body in motion

u = initial vertical/horizontal displacement of the body

t = time taken for the displacement

a = vertical/horizontal acceleration of the body.

Now, since the particle being considered moves in an xy-coordinate system, then equation (i) above can be resolved into the x (horizontal) and y (vertical) components as follows;

<u>Horizontal (x-coordinate) component</u>

s_{x} = u_{x} t + \frac{1}{2} a_{x}t²     ------------------(ii)

Where;

s_{x} = horizontal displacement (x-coordinate) of the particle in motion

u_{x} = initial horizontal displacement of the particle

t = time taken for the displacement

a_{x} = horizontal (x-direction) acceleration of the body.

<u>Vertical (y-coordinate) component</u>

s_{y} = u_{y} t + \frac{1}{2} a_{y}t²      -------------------(iii)

Where;

s_{y} = vertical displacement (y-coordinate) of the particle in motion

u_{y} = initial vertical displacement of the particle

t = time taken for the displacement

a_{y} = vertical (y-direction) acceleration of the body.

(A) Now, using equation (iii), from the question;

u_{y} = 0              [since the particle starts from rest, initial velocity is zero]

a_{y} = 1m/s²        [acceleration in the y-direction]

s_{y} = 12m           [y-coordinate value]

<em>Substitute these values into equation (iii) as follows;</em>

12 = 0 t +  \frac{1}{2} (1) t²

12 =   \frac{1}{2} t²          [Multiply through by 2]

24 = t²              [Solve for t]

t = \sqrt{24} seconds

(B) Also, using equation (ii), from the question;

u_{x} = 0              [since the particle starts from rest, initial velocity is zero]

a_{x} = 2m/s²       [acceleration in the x-direction]

s_{x} = ?               [x-coordinate value]

<em>Substitute these values into equation (ii) as follows;</em>

s_{x} = 0 t +  \frac{1}{2} (2) t²

s_{x} =  t²             -------------------(iv)

But t = \sqrt{24} seconds as calculated above, substitute this value into equation (iv)

s_{x} = (\sqrt{24})²              [Solve for s_{x}]

s_{x} = 24

Therefore, the x-coordinate of the particle when the y-coordinate is 12m is 24m

Answer:

When the y-coordinate is 12m, the x-coordinate of the particle is 24 m

Explanation:

Given;

y - component of acceleration = 1 m/s²

X - component of acceleration = 2 m/s²

distance traveled in y - direction, Dy = 12 m

To determine the distance traveled in X- direction, we obtain the duration of the displacement in y- direction.

Applying equation of motion;

Dy = ¹/₂ x at²

t = \sqrt{\frac{2y}{a}} = \sqrt{\frac{2*12}{1}} = 4.9 s

For distance traveled in x -direction;

Dx = ¹/₂ x at²

Dx = ¹/₂ x 2 x (4.9)² = 24.01 m ≅ 24m

Therefore, when the y-coordinate is 12m, the x-coordinate of the particle is 24 m

A uniform disk, a thin hoop, and a uniform sphere, all with the same mass and same outer radius, are each free to rotate about a
olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

4 hoop, disk, sphere

Explanation:

Because

We are given data that

Hoop, disk, sphere have Same mass and radius

So let

And Initial angular velocity, = 0

The Force on each be F

And Time = t

Also let

Radius of each = r

So let's find the inertia shall we!!

I1 = m r² /2

= 0.5 mr² the his is for dis

I2 = m r² for hoop

And

Moment of inertia of sphere wiil be

I3 = (2/5) mr²

= 0.4 mr²

So

ωf = ωi + α t

= 0 + ( τ / I ) t

= ( F r / I ) t

So we can see that

ωf is inversely proportional to moment of inertia.

And so we take the

Order of I ( least to greatest ) :

I3 (sphere) , I1 (disk) , I2 (hoop) , ,

Order of ωf: ( least to greatest)

That of omega xf is the reverse of inertial so

hoop, disk, sphere

What is the acceleration experiance by a car that takes 10s to reach 27m/s from rest
lina2011 [118]

Magnitude of acceleration = (change in speed) / (time for the change).

Change in speed  =  (27 - 0)  =  27 m/s
Time for the change = 10 s

Magnitude of acceleration =  (27 m/s) / (10 s)  =  2.7 m/s²  .

A vehicle starts to move from the rest gets an acceleration of 5 m/s2 within 2
likoan [24]

Answer:

When an object moves in a straight line with a constant acceleration, you can calculate its acceleration if you know how much its velocity changes and how long this takes.

The formula is,

Acceleration = change in velocity / time taken

The equation for acceleration can also be represented as:

a = (v-u) \ t

The change in velocity v – u = 5 – 0 = 5 m/s.

The acceleration = change in velocity ÷ time = 5 m/s ÷ 2 s = 2.5 m/s^2
