The instantaneous speed of a particle moving along one straight line is v(t) = ate−6t, where the speed v is measured in meters p

er second, the time t is measured in seconds, and the magnitude of the constant a is measured in meters per second squared. What is its maximum speed, expressed as a multiple of a? (Do not include units in your answer.)

Answer:

v_max = (1/6)e^-1 a

Explanation:

You have the following equation for the instantaneous speed of a particle:

v(t)=ate^{-6t}   (1)

To find the expression for the maximum speed in terms of the acceleration "a", you first derivative v(t) respect to time t:

\frac{dv(t)}{dt}=\frac{d}{dt}[ate^{-6t}]=a[(1)e^{-6t}+t(e^{-6t}(-6))]  (2)

where you have use the derivative of a product.

Next, you equal the expression (2) to zero in order to calculate t:

a[(1)e^{-6t}-6te^{-6t}]=0\\\\1-6t=0\\\\t=\frac{1}{6}

For t = 1/6 you obtain the maximum speed.

Then, you replace that value of t in the expression (1):

v_{max}=a(\frac{1}{6})e^{-6(\frac{1}{6})}=\frac{e^{-1}}{6}a

hence, the maximum speed is v_max = ((1/6)e^-1)a

zubka84 [21]
The solution for this problem would be:(10 - 500x) / (5 - x) 
so start by doing: 
x(5*50*2) - xV + 5V = 0.02(5*50*2) 
500x - xV + 5V = 10 
V(5 - x) = 10 - 500x 
V = (10 - 500x) / (5 - x) 
(V stands for the volume, but leaves us with the expression for x)

Guitar string has an overall length of 1.22 m and a total mass of 3.5 g before being strung on a guitar. Once it is used on the
ikadub [295]

Answer:

Fundamental frequency= 174.5 hz

Explanation:

We know

fundamental frequency=\frac{velocity}{2 *length}

velocity =\sqrt{\frac{tension}{mass per unit length} }

mass per unit length=\frac{3.5}{1000*1.22}=0.00427\frac{kg}{m}

Now calculating velocity v=\sqrt{\frac{255}{0.00427} }

                                           =244.3\frac{m}{sec}

Distance between two nodes is 0.7 m.

Plugging these values into to calculate frequency

f = \frac{244.3}{2 *0.7} =174.5 hz
