The position of a particle moving along a straight line is defined by the relation. s = t^3 – 6t^2 – 15t + 40, where s is expres

sed in feet and t in seconds. Determine:(a) s when t = 3 seconds.(b) v when t = 5 seconds. (c) a when t = 4 seconds.(d) the time when the velocity is equal to zero. What is important about this information?

Answer:

1) s(3) = -32 feet.

2)v(5) = 3 feet/sec

3)a(4) = 12feet/s^{2}

4) Velocity becomes zero at t = 5 seconds

Explanation:

Given that position as a function of time is

s(t)=t^{3}-6t^{2}-15t+40

Now by definition of velocity we have

v=\frac{ds}{dt}\\\\v=\frac{d}{dt}(t^{3}-6t^{2}-15t+40)\\\\\therefore v(t)=3t^{2}-12t-15

Now by definition of acceleration we have

a=\frac{dv}{dt}\\\\a=\frac{d}{dt}(3t^{2}-12t-15)\\\\\therefore a(t)=6t-12

Applying values of time in corresponding equations we get

1) s(3)=3^{3}-6\times (3)^{2}-15\times 3+40=-32feet

2)v(5)=3\times {5}^{2}-12\times 5-15=3feet/sec

3)a(4)=6\times 4-12=12ft/s^{2}

4)To obatin the time at which velocity is zero equate the velocity function with zero we get

3t^{2}-12t-15=0\\\\t^{2}-4t-5=0\\\\t^{2}-5t+t-5=0\\\\t(t-5)+1(t-5)=0\\\\(t-5)(t+1)=0\\\\\therefore t=5\\\\or\\\therefore t=-1

Thus the correct time is 5 seconds at which velocity becomes zero.

Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

The value of critical length = 3.46 mm

The value of volume of fraction of fibers = 0.43

Explanation:

Given data

\sigma_{T} =  800 M pa

D = 0.017 mm

L = 2.3 mm

\sigma_{f} = 5500 M pa

\sigma_{m} = 18 M pa

\sigma_c = 13.5 M pa

(a) Critical fiber length is given by

L_{c} = \sigma_{f} (\frac{D}{2 \sigma_{c} } )

Put all the values in above equation we get

L_{c} =5500 (\frac{0.017}{(2) (13.5)} )

L_{c} = 3.46 mm

This is the value of critical length.

(b).Since this  critical length is greater than fiber length Than the volume fraction of fibers is given by

V_{f} = \frac{\sigma_T - \sigma_m}{\frac{L\sigma_c}{D} - \sigma_m }

Put all the values in above formula we get

V_{f} = \frac{800-18}{\frac{(2.3)(13.5)}{0.017} - 18 }

V_{f} = 0.43

This is the value of volume of fraction of fibers.

Create a variable pounds to store weight in pounds. Convert this to kilograms and assign the result to a variable kilos. The con
vodka [1.7K]

Answer:

>>pounds=13.2

>>kilos=pounds/2.2

Explanation:

Using Matlab to write the program, consider at any time when the weight in pounds is 13.2 lb, this variable of weight is created in MATLAB by typing >>pounds=13.2. To convert it from lb to Kg, we simply divide it by 2.2 hence the second command to created is kilos. For this, the output of the program will be 6 Kg.

A 2-mm-diameter electrical wire is insulated by a 2-mm-thick rubberized sheath (k = 0.13 W/m K), and the wire/sheath interface i
Semmy [17]

Answer:

maximum allowable electrical power=4.51W/m

critical radius of the insulation=13mm

Explanation:

Hello!

To solve this heat transfer problem we must initially draw the wire and interpret the whole problem (see attached image)

Subsequently, consider the heat transfer equation from the internal part of the tube to the external air, taking into account the resistance by convection, and  conduction as shown in the attached image

to find the critical insulation radius we must divide the conductivity of the material by the external convective coefficient

r=\frac{k}{h} =\frac{0.13}{10}=0.013m=13mm
