Answer:

(a) \vec F_{\parallel} = -\frac{102}{13}\,i-\frac{103}{13}\,j , (b) \vec F_{\perp} = \frac{102}{13}\,i -\frac{68}{13}\,j, (c) W = -51

Explanation:

The statement is incomplete:

The force on an object is \vec F = -17\,j. For the vector \vec v = 2\,i +3\,j. Find: (a) The component of \vec F parallel to \vec v, (b) The component of \vec F perpendicular to \vec v, and (c) The work W, done by force \vec F through displacement \vec v.

(a) The component of \vec F parallel to \vec v is determined by the following expression:

\vec F_{\parallel} = (\vec F \bullet \hat {v} )\cdot \hat{v}

Where \hat{v} is the unit vector of \vec v, which is determined by the following expression:

\hat{v} = \frac{\vec v}{\|\vec v \|}

Where \|\vec v\| is the norm of \vec v, whose value can be found by Pythagorean Theorem.

Then, if \vec F = -17\,j and \vec v = 2\,i +3\,j, then:

\|\vec v\| =\sqrt{2^{2}+3^{3}}

\|\vec v\|=\sqrt{13}

\hat{v} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{13}} \cdot(2\,i + 3\,j)

\hat{v} = \frac{2}{\sqrt{13}}\,i+ \frac{3}{\sqrt{13}}\,j

\vec F \bullet \hat{v} = (0)\cdot \left(\frac{2}{\sqrt{13}} \right)+(-17)\cdot \left(\frac{3}{\sqrt{13}} \right)

\vec F \bullet \hat{v} = -\frac{51}{\sqrt{13}}

\vec F_{\parallel} = \left(-\frac{51}{\sqrt{13}} \right)\cdot \left(\frac{2}{\sqrt{13}}\,i+\frac{3}{\sqrt{13}}\,j  \right)

\vec F_{\parallel} = -\frac{102}{13}\,i-\frac{153}{13}\,j

(b) Parallel and perpendicular components are orthogonal to each other and the perpendicular component can be found by using the following vectorial subtraction:

\vec F_{\perp} = \vec F - \vec F_{\parallel}

Given that \vec F = -17\,j and \vec F_{\parallel} = -\frac{102}{13}\,i-\frac{153}{13}\,j, the component of \vec F perpendicular to \vec v is:

\vec F_{\perp} = -17\,j -\left(-\frac{102}{13}\,i-\frac{153}{13}\,j  \right)

\vec F_{\perp} = \frac{102}{13}\,i + \left(\frac{153}{13}-17 \right)\,j

\vec F_{\perp} = \frac{102}{13}\,i -\frac{68}{13}\,j

(c) The work done by  \vec F through displacement \vec v is:

W = \vec F \bullet \vec v

W = (0)\cdot (2)+(-17)\cdot (3)

W = -51

A car initially traveling at 17.1 mph comes to rest in 9.7s what was its acceleration in this time?
ra1l [238]

Answer:

a=-.78m/s^2

Explanation:

Δv=at

  • Δv is the difference in velocity before and after a given time.
  • a is the acceleration of the object during this time.
  • t is time

(v_f-v_i)=at is another way to write this equation.

  • The Δ symbol represents "the difference between the initial and final values of a magnitude or vector", so Δv=(v_f-v_i)

v_f-v_i=at\\\frac{at}{t}=\frac{v_f-v_i}{t}\\a=\frac{v_f-v_i}{t}

  • I rearranged this equation to solve for a, but this is a step that you don't need to take, it's just good to get in the habit of doing this.
  • Plug in the given values. Note that our final velocity is 0, because the car travels until at <em>rest</em>.

a=\frac{v_f-v_i}{t}\\a=\frac{(0)-[(17.1\frac{miles}{hour} )(\frac{hour}{3600s})(\frac{1609.34m}{mile})]}{9.7s}

  • Our initial velocity is in mph, something not in standard units, so if not changed, you will get an incorrect answer. What you need to do is cancel out the units your prior value had using division and multiplication, and at the same time multiply and divide the correct numbers and units into your equation. Or look up a converter.

a=\frac{(0)-[(17.1\frac{miles}{hour} )(\frac{hour}{3600s})(\frac{1609.34m}{mile})]}{9.7s}\\a=\frac{0m/s-7.6m/s}{9.7s} \\a=\frac{-7.6m/s}{9.7s}

  • if you converted correctly, your answer for v_f will be ≅ 7.6m/s.
  • Now divide. Notice that the units for acceleration are m/s^2 or <em>meters per second, per second</em>.

a=\frac{-7.6m/s}{9.7s}\\a=-.78m/s^2

  • Our final answer is <em>negative </em>because the car is <em>slowing down</em>. Do not square this answer as the square symbol only applies to the units, not the magnitude.

A hot-air balloon is accelerating upward under the influence of two forces, its weight and the buoyant force. for simplicity, co
Elenna [48]
Let V = the volume of the balloon
Force of gravity = V * ?hot * g downward
Buoyant force = V * ?cool * g upward
Net upward force F = V * ?cool * g - V * ?hot * g

F = V g (?cool - ?hot)

Mass of the balloon m = V ?hot

a = F/m = V g (?cool - ?hot)/(V ?hot)

a = g(?cool/?hot - 1)

a = 9.8(1.29/0.93 - 1)

a = 3.79 m/s^2

<span>Answer is 3.79 m/s^2</span>

A compact disc (CD) stores music in a coded pattern of tiny pits 10−7m deep. The pits are arranged in a track that spirals outwa
andreev551 [17]

(a) 50 rad/s

The angular speed of the CD is related to the linear speed by:

\omega=\frac{v}{r}

where

\omega is the angular speed

v is the linear speed

r is the distance from the centre of the CD

When scanning the innermost part of the track, we have

v = 1.25 m/s

r = 25.0 mm = 0.025 m

Therefore, the angular speed is

\omega=\frac{1.25 m/s}{0.025 m}=50 rad/s

(b) 21.6 rad/s

As in part a, the angular speed of the CD is given by

\omega=\frac{v}{r}

When scanning the outermost part of the track, we have

v = 1.25 m/s

r = 58.0 mm = 0.058 m

Therefore, the angular speed is

\omega=\frac{1.25 m/s}{0.058 m}=21.6 rad/s

(c) 5550 m

The maximum playing time of the CD is

t =74.0 min \cdot 60 s/min = 4,440 s

And we know that the linear speed of the track is

v = 1.25 m/s

If the track were stretched out in a straight line, then we would have a uniform motion, therefore the total length of the track would be:

d=vt=(1.25 m/s)(4,440 s)=5,550 m

(d) -6.4\cdot 10^{-3} rad/s^2

The angular acceleration of the CD is given by

\alpha = \frac{\omega_f - \omega_i}{t}

where

\omega_f = 21.6 rad/s is the final angular speed (when the CD is scanned at the outermost part)

\omega_i = 50.0 rad/s is the initial angular speed (when the CD is scanned at the innermost part)

t=4440 s is the time elapsed

Substituting into the equation, we find

\alpha=\frac{21.6 rad/s-50.0 rad/s}{4440 s}=-6.4\cdot 10^{-3} rad/s^2

In 10 seconds a car accelerates 4/ms to 60m/s. how fast was the car going before it accelerated?
SVETLANKA909090 [29]
Well it seems like this problem gives you what you need.  You said the car was going 4m/s and then accelerated to 60m/s... so 4m/s would be your answer for the initial velocity
