The acceleration of the particle as a function of time t is
a(t) = t + t^2
The velocity of the particle at time t is the integral of the acceleration:
v(t) =  \int {a(t)} \, dt =  \frac{t^2}{2} +  \frac{t^3}{3}  + C
where the constant C can be found by requiring that the velocity at time t=0 is v=3:
v(0) = 3
and we find C=v_0=3
so the velocity is
v(t)=3+ \frac{t^2}{2}+ \frac{t^3}{3}

The position of the particle at time t is the integral of the velocity:
x(t)=\int {v(t) } \,dt = 3t +  \frac{t^3}{6}+ \frac{t^4}{12}   +D
where D can be found by requiring that the initial position at time t=0 is zero:
x(0)=0
from which we find D=0, so 
 x(t)=3t + \frac{t^3}{6}+ \frac{t^4}{12} 

To solve the problem, now we just have to substitute t=5 into x(t) and v(t) to find the position and the velocity of the particle at t=5.

The position is:
x(5)=3(5) +  \frac{5^3}{6}+ \frac{5^4}{12}=87.92
and the velocity is:
v(5) = 3+ \frac{5^2}{2}+ \frac{5^3}{3}=57.17

A 0.5 kg block of aluminum (caluminum=900j/kg⋅∘c) is heated to 200∘c. the block is then quickly placed in an insulated tub of co
Alex_Xolod [135]

To solve this problem, we should recall the law of conservation of energy. That is, the heat lost by the aluminium must be equal to the heat gained by the cold water. This is expressed in change in enthalpies therefore:

- ΔH aluminium = ΔH water

where ΔH = m Cp (T2 – T1)

The negative sign simply means heat is lost. Therefore we calculate for the mass of water (m):

- 0.5 (900) (20 – 200) = m (4186) (20 – 0)

m = 0.9675 kg

 

Using same mass of water and initial temperature, the final temperature T of a 1.0 kg aluminium block is:

- 1 (900) (T – 200) = 0.9675 (4186) (T – 0)

- 900 T + 180,000 = 4050 T

4950 T = 180,000

T = 36.36°C

 

The final temperature of the water and block is 36.36°C

An 80.0 kg skier slides down a hill shaped as shown. Assume
umka21 [38]

The height above the ground from where the skier start is 11.5 m.

<h3>Conservation of energy</h3>

The height above the ground from where the skier start is determined by applying the principle of conservation of energy as shown below;

P.E = K.E

mgh = ¹/₂mv²

gh = ¹/₂v²

h = \frac{v^2}{2g} \\\\h = \frac{15^2}{2 \times 9.8} \\\\h = 11.5 \ m

Thus, the height above the ground from where the skier start is 11.5 m.

A body with initial velocity 8.0 m/s moves along a straight line with constant acceleration and travels
Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

<em>(a) The average velocity is 16 m/s</em>

<em>(b) The acceleration is 0.4 m/s^2</em>

<em>(c) The final velocity is 24 m/s</em>

Explanation:

<u>Constant Acceleration Motion</u>

It's a type of motion in which the velocity (or the speed) of an object changes by an equal amount in every equal period of time.

Being a the constant acceleration, vo the initial speed, vf the final speed, and t the time, final speed is calculated as follows:

v_f=v_o+at\qquad\qquad [1]

The distance traveled by the object is given by:

\displaystyle x=v_o.t+\frac{a.t^2}{2}\qquad\qquad [2]

(a) The average velocity is defined as the total distance traveled divided by the time taken to travel that distance.

We know the distance is x=640 m and the time taken t= 40 s, thus:

\displaystyle \bar v=\frac{x}{t}=\frac{640}{40}=16

The average velocity is 16 m/s

Using the equation [1] we can solve for a:

\displaystyle a=\frac{v_f-v_o}{t}

(c) From [2] we can solve for a:

\displaystyle a= 2\frac{x-v_ot}{t^2}

Since vo=8 m/s, x=640 m, t=40 s:

\displaystyle a= 2\frac{640-8\cdot 40}{40^2}=0.4

The acceleration is 0.4 m/s^2

(b) The final velocity is calculated by [1]:

v_f=8+0.4\cdot 40

v_f=8+16=24

The final velocity is 24 m/s
