Answer:

6 voltage is applied by the batteries.

Explanation:

To solve this sort of problem involving current, resistance and voltage, we use the relation: Voltage= Current x Resistance.

From the problem, the following have been given:

Resistance= 2.4 ohms.

Current= 2.5 amps.

Required: Voltage?

Fix the values of current and resistance into the relation:

Voltage= 2.5 x 2.4

=6 volts.

At time t=0, a particle is located at the point (3,6,9). It travels in a straight line to the point (5,2,7), has speed 8 at (3,6

Elis [28]

The particle has constant acceleration according to

$\vec a(t)=2\,\vec\imath-4\,\vec\jmath-2\,\vec k$

Its velocity at time $t$ is

$\displaystyle\vec v(t)=\vec v(0)+\int_0^t\vec a(u)\,\mathrm du$

$\vec v(t)=\vec v(0)+(2\,\vec\imath-4\,\vec\jmath-2\,\vec k)t$

$\vec v(t)=(v_{0x}+2t)\,\vec\imath+(v_{0y}-4t)\,\vec\jmath+(v_{0z}-2t)\,\vec k$

Then the particle has position at time $t$ according to

$\displaystyle\vec r(t)=\vec r(0)+\int_0^t\vec v(u)\,\mathrm du$

$\vec r(t)=(3+v_{0x}t+t^2)\,\vec\imath+(6+v_{0y}t-2t^2)\,\vec\jmath+(9+v_{0z}t-t^2)\,\vec k$

At at the point (3, 6, 9), i.e. when $t=0$ , it has speed 8, so that

$\|\vec v(0)\|=8\iff{v_{0x}}^2+{v_{0y}}^2+{v_{0z}}^2=64$

We know that at some time $t=T$ , the particle is at the point (5, 2, 7), which tells us

$\begin{cases}3+v_{0x}T+T^2=5\\6+v_{0y}T-2T^2=2\\9+v_{0z}T-T^2=7\end{cases}\implies\begin{cases}v_{0x}=\dfrac{2-T^2}T\\\\v_{0y}=\dfrac{2T^2-4}T\\\\v_{0z}=\dfrac{T^2-2}T\end{cases}$

and in particular we see that

$v_{0y}=-2v_{0x}$

and

$v_{0z}=-v_{0x}$

Then

${v_{0x}}^2+(-2v_{0x})^2+(-v_{0x})^2=6{v_{0x}}^2=64\implies v_{0x}=\pm\dfrac{4\sqrt6}3$

$\implies v_{0y}=\mp\dfrac{8\sqrt6}3$

$\implies v_{0z}=\mp\dfrac{4\sqrt6}3$

That is, there are two possible initial velocities for which the particle can travel between (3, 6, 9) and (5, 2, 7) with the given acceleration vector and given that it starts with a speed of 8. Then there are two possible solutions for its position vector; one of them is

$\vec r(t)=\left(3+\dfrac{4\sqrt6}3t+t^2\right)\,\vec\imath+\left(6-\dfrac{8\sqrt6}3t-2t^2\right)\,\vec\jmath+\left(9-\dfrac{4\sqrt6}3t-t^2\right)\,\vec k$
