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

Imagine that you have a 6.50 l gas tank and a 4.50 l gas tank. you need to fill one tank with oxygen and the other with acetylen
Margarita [4]
V₁(O2) = 6.50<span>  L                
</span>p₁(O2) = 155 atm          
V₂(acetylene) = <span>4.50 L                   
</span>p₂(acetylene) =?                             

According to Boyle–Mariotte law (At constant temperature and unchanged amount of gas, the product of pressure and volume is constant) we can compare two gases that have ideal behavior and the law can be usefully expressed as:

V₁/p₁ = V₂/p₂

6.5/155 = 4.5/p₂

0.042 x p₂ = 4.5

p₂ = 107.3 atm

Which of the following statements about the problem of object recognition is false?
alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

The answer is: letter c, in object recognition, the goal is recognizing the proximal stimulus.

Explanation:

Letter c is a "false" statement about object recognition because the goal is recognizing the distal stimulus and "not the proximal stimulus."

Distal stimulus refers to <em>an event or an object in the world that provides information to the proximal stimulus. </em>The proximal stimulus is a pattern of these events and objects that reaches to your senses. They can be registered in the person via<em> "sensory receptors." </em>

We need to recognize the distal stimulus and not the proximal stimulus. For example, when a lemon (distal stimulus) is being cut, it brings out a fragrance (proximal stimulus) that goes to the person's sense of smell. This gives the person a hint on where the smell is coming from and what it is. Then, the person recognizes that it is a lemon.
