A particle moves along the x-axis with velocity v(t) = t2 - 4, with t measured in seconds and v(t) measured in feet per second.

Answer:

Total distance D=7.66 ft

Explanation:  

Given that:   V=t^{2}-4

Here velocity of particle will be zero at t=2 sec,so we take interval to find total distance.

We know that V=\dfrac{ds}{dt}

       ds=V dt

So  s=\int_{t_{1}}^{t_{2}}Vdt

It means that ,the area of velocity-time(V-t) graph will give the displacement.

Given that t_{1}=0 ,t_{2}=3

So now by putting the value in above integration

    s=\int_{0}^{2}(t^{2}-4)dt+\int_{2}^{3}(t^{2}-4)

s=\left [\frac{1}{3}t^3-4t\right ]_o^2+\left [\frac{1}{3}t^3-4t\right]_2^3

s= -5.33+2.33 ft

 s= -3 ft  (we know that displacement is a vector quantity so it have sing)

So this is the displacement of particle at time 0 sec to 3 sec.

To find the total distance we will add all take mode on -5.33 ft and and will add with 2.33 ft instead of subtract.

So the total distance travelled by particle D=7.66 ft.

D=7.66 ft

A 2.00 kg block hangs from a spring. A 300 g body hung below the block stretches the spring 2.00 cm farther. (a) What is the spr
Leokris [45]

The spring constant is 147 N/m

Given the mass of the block is 2.00 kg , the mass of the body is 300 g and the length of the spring is 2.00 cm

We need to find the spring constant

A spring is an object that can be deformed by a force and then return to its original shape after the force is removed.

The force required to stretch an elastic object such as a metal spring is directly proportional to the extension of the spring

We know that F = kx

300(9.8)= k (0.02)

k = 147.15 N/m

Rounding off to the nearest is 147N/m

The spring constant is 147N/m

(a) what is the acceleration of two falling sky divers (mass 132 kg including parachute) when the upward force of air resistance
Komok [63]

As per the question the mass of two falling sky drivers is 132 kg.

First we have to calculate their acceleration.

Whenever a body falls freely under gravity,its acceleration is acceleration due to gravity i.e g whose value is 9.8 m/s^2.

The earth pulls the object with a force equal to the weight of the body.

Hence the force gravity  F=W= mg   [ here m is mass of the body]

Here m =132 kg.

Hence force of gravity F= mg

                                        =132 kg ×9.8 m/s^2

                                        =1293.6 kg m/s^2

                                         =1293.6 N      [ here N[newton] is the unit of force.]

As per the question the air resistance is one fourth of weight of the bodies.

Hence air resistance F' =1/4 mg

                                       =\frac{1}{4} *1293.6N

                                        =323.4 N

Here F acts in vertically downward direction while F' acts in vertically upward direction.

Hence the net force acting on the particle is F-F'.

                                                 F_{net} =1293.6N -323.4N

                                                         =970.2 N

From Newton's second law of motion we know that net force is the product of mass and acceleration i.e  

                                   F_{net} =ma  [Here a is the acceleration]

                                             a =\frac{F_{net} }{m}

                                                  = \frac{970.2}{132} m/s^2

                                                  =7.35 m/s^2

In the second question it has been told that they descend with uniform speed.hence acceleration of the two bodies will be zero.

 we know that F= ma

                           =m×0

                            =0 N

Hence they will not get any force when they will descend with a uniform speed.

The radius of Saturn is about 10 times the radius of Venus and the mass is about 100 times that of Venus. How much larger is the
lora16 [44]

let the mass of Venus is M then mass of Saturn is 100 M

similarly if the radius of Venus is R then the radius of Saturn is 10 R

now the force of gravity on a man of mass "m" at the surface of Venus is given by

F_1 = \frac{GMm}{R^2}

now similarly the gravitational force on the man if he is at the surface of Saturn

F_2 = \frac{G*100M*m}{(10R)^2}

F_2 = \frac{GMm}{R^2}

so here if we divide the two forces

\frac{F_1}{F_2} = 1

so here we can say

F1 = F2

so on both planets the gravitational force will be same
