At time t=0, a particle is located at the point (3,6,9). It travels in a straight line to the point (5,2,7), has speed 8 at (3,6

,9) and constant acceleration 2i−4j−2k. Find an equation for the position vector of the particle.

The particle has constant acceleration according to

\vec a(t)=2\,\vec\imath-4\,\vec\jmath-2\,\vec k

Its velocity at time t is

\displaystyle\vec v(t)=\vec v(0)+\int_0^t\vec a(u)\,\mathrm du

\vec v(t)=\vec v(0)+(2\,\vec\imath-4\,\vec\jmath-2\,\vec k)t

\vec v(t)=(v_{0x}+2t)\,\vec\imath+(v_{0y}-4t)\,\vec\jmath+(v_{0z}-2t)\,\vec k

Then the particle has position at time t according to

\displaystyle\vec r(t)=\vec r(0)+\int_0^t\vec v(u)\,\mathrm du

\vec r(t)=(3+v_{0x}t+t^2)\,\vec\imath+(6+v_{0y}t-2t^2)\,\vec\jmath+(9+v_{0z}t-t^2)\,\vec k

At at the point (3, 6, 9), i.e. when t=0, it has speed 8, so that

\|\vec v(0)\|=8\iff{v_{0x}}^2+{v_{0y}}^2+{v_{0z}}^2=64

We know that at some time t=T, the particle is at the point (5, 2, 7), which tells us

\begin{cases}3+v_{0x}T+T^2=5\\6+v_{0y}T-2T^2=2\\9+v_{0z}T-T^2=7\end{cases}\implies\begin{cases}v_{0x}=\dfrac{2-T^2}T\\\\v_{0y}=\dfrac{2T^2-4}T\\\\v_{0z}=\dfrac{T^2-2}T\end{cases}

and in particular we see that

v_{0y}=-2v_{0x}

and

v_{0z}=-v_{0x}

Then

{v_{0x}}^2+(-2v_{0x})^2+(-v_{0x})^2=6{v_{0x}}^2=64\implies v_{0x}=\pm\dfrac{4\sqrt6}3

\implies v_{0y}=\mp\dfrac{8\sqrt6}3

\implies v_{0z}=\mp\dfrac{4\sqrt6}3

That is, there are two possible initial velocities for which the particle can travel between (3, 6, 9) and (5, 2, 7) with the given acceleration vector and given that it starts with a speed of 8. Then there are two possible solutions for its position vector; one of them is

\vec r(t)=\left(3+\dfrac{4\sqrt6}3t+t^2\right)\,\vec\imath+\left(6-\dfrac{8\sqrt6}3t-2t^2\right)\,\vec\jmath+\left(9-\dfrac{4\sqrt6}3t-t^2\right)\,\vec k

100 J OF HEAT IS PRODUCED EACH SECOND IN A 4 COULUMB RESISTER. THE POTENTIAL DIFFERANCE ACROSS THE RESISTER WILL BE
igomit [66]

Answer:

The correct answer is "20 Volts".

Explanation:

Given:

Heat,

H = 100 J

Resistance,

R = 4 Ω

As we know,

⇒ P=\frac{v^2}{R}

By putting the values, we get

⇒ 100=\frac{v^2}{4}

⇒  v^2=100\times 4

⇒       =400

⇒    v=\sqrt{400}

⇒       =20 \ volts

A spring with an 8-kg mass is kept stretched 0.4 m beyond its natural length by a force of 32 N. The spring starts at its equili
pentagon [3]

Answer:

x = 1.26 sin 3.16 t

Explanation:

Assume that the general equation of the displacement given as

x = A sinω t

A=Amplitude ,t=time ,ω=natural frequency

We know that speed V

V=\dfrac{dx}{dt}

V= A ω cosωt

Maximum velocity

V(max)= Aω

Given that F= 32 N

F = K Δ

K=Spring constant

Δ = 0.4 m

32 =0.4 K

K = 80 N/m

We know that  ω²m = K

8 ω² = 80

ω = 3.16 s⁻¹

Given that V(max)= Aω = 4 m/s

3.16 A = 4

A= 1.26 m

Therefore the general equation of displacement

x = 1.26 sin 3.16 t

Which of these properties of an object best quantifies its inertia: velocity, acceleration, volume, mass, or temperature?
LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

Mass

Explanation:

Inertia is essentially an object's tendency to stay in motion or at rest unless it is forced to do otherwise (pun intended). It only makes sense to me that mass would best quantify an object's inertia, because an object with more mass would be harder to move and/or stop from moving.

You drive a car 1600 ft to the east, then 2500 ft to the north. The trip took 2.5 minutes. What was the magnitude of your averag
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

Velocity=6.03m/s

Explanation:

Given data

Time t=2.5 minutes=150 seconds

Distance A=1600 ft=487.68 m........east

Distance B=2500 ft=762m ........north

To find

Average velocity

Solution

First we need to find the resultant distance magnitude.To find that we apply Pythagorean theorem to find hypotenuse

So

A^{2}+B^{2}=C^{2}\\  C=\sqrt{A^{2}+B^{2}}\\ C=\sqrt{(487.68m)^{2}+(762m)^{2}}\\ C=904.7m

Velocity=\frac{Distance}{Time}\\Velocity=\frac{904.7m}{150s}\\Velocity=6.03m/s
