A vw beetle goes from 0 to 60 mi/h with an acceleration of 2.35 m/s^2.

1 answer:

6 0

Part a.
u = 0, the initial velocity
v = 60 mi/h, the final velocity
a = 2.35 m/s², the acceleration.

Note that
1 m = 1609.34 m.
Therefore
v = (60 mi/h)*(1609.34 m/mi)*(1/3600 h/s) = 26.822 m/s
Use the formula
v = u + at
(26.822 m/s) = (2.35 m/s²)*(t s)
t = 26.822/2.35 = 11.4 s

Answer: 11.4 s

Part b.
We already determined that v = 60 mi/h = 26.822 m/s.
t = 0.6 s
Therefore
(26.822 m/s) = (a m/s²)*(0.6 s)
a = 26.822/0.6 = 44.7 m/s²

Answer: 44.7 m/s²

Starting from rest, a particle that is confined to move along a straight line is accelerated at a rate of 5.0 m/s2. Which one of

Elanso [62]

Answer:

c) The slope is not constant and increases with increasing time.

Explanation:

The equation for the position of this particle (starting from rest is)

$s = at^2/2 = 5t^2/2 = 2.5t^2$

We can take derivative of this with respect to time t to get the equation of slope:

$s' = (2.5t^2)' = 2*2.5t = 5t$

As time t increase, the slope would increases with time as well.

a) $3.14 \cdot 10^{-4} s$

b) See plot attached

c) 10.0 m

d) 0.500 cm

Explanation:

The position of the tip of the lever at time t is described by the equation:

$y(t)=(0.500 cm) sin[(2.00\cdot 10^4 s^{-1})t]$ (1)

The generic equation that describes a wave is

$y(t)=A sin (\frac{2\pi}{T} t)$ (2)

where

A is the amplitude of the wave

T is the period of the wave

t is the time

By comparing (1) and (2), we see that for the wave in this problem we have

$\frac{2\pi}{T}=2.00\cdot 10^4 s^{-1}$

Therefore, the period is

$T=\frac{2\pi}{2.00\cdot 10^4}=3.14 \cdot 10^{-4} s$

The sketch of the profile of the wave until t = 4T is shown in attachment.

A wave is described by a sinusoidal function: in this problem, the wave is described by a sine, therefore at t = 0 the displacement is zero, y = 0.

The wave than periodically repeats itself every period. In this sketch, we draw the wave over 4 periods, so until t = 4T.

The maximum displacement of the wave is given by the value of y when $sin(...)=1$ , and from eq(1), we see that this is equal to

y = 0.500 cm

So, this is the maximum displacement represented in the sketch.

When standing waves are produced in a string, the ends of the string act as they are nodes (points with zero displacement): therefore, the wavelength of a wave in a string is equal to twice the length of the string itself:

$\lambda=2L$
