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

The wavelength of a light wave is 700 nm in air; this light appears red. If this wave enters a pool of water, its wavelength bec
hodyreva [135]

Answer

given,

wavelength of light in air = 700 nm

Wavelength of light in water = 530 nm

We know that speed of light changes when it moves from one medium to another.

And the frequency of the wavelength does not changes if the medium changes.

we also know that,

                                    v = ν λ

From the above equation we can say that if frequency is constant so, with the change in  velocity changes wavelength will also change.

Hence, wavelength is the property of the wave which determines color.

La tension que se transmite en la cuerda BD es de 75 lb. Calcula el momento de fuerza generada por la cuerda respecto al punto C
Bas_tet [7]

Answer:

Mc = 1920[lb*in]

Explanation:

Para poder solucionar este problema debemos realizar un análisis estático, por tal motivo lo primero es realizar un diagrama de cuerpo libre con las respectivas fuerzas actuando sobre la barra ABC. DE igual manera calcular la geometría de la configuración mostrada.

El diagrama de cuerpo libre se puede ver en la imagen adjunta, con la solución de este problema.

Lo primero es determinar el angulo t, el cual por medio de las propiedades del triangulo rectángulo se puede determinar.

Con este angulo (t) ya determinado, fijamos la atención en el triangulo BCD, este triangulo no es rectángulo, pero por medio de la ley de senos podemos determinar el angulo omega.

Después de determinar el angulo omega, restamos el angulo (t) para poder determinar el angulo (a).

Seguidamente realizamos una sumatoria de momentos alrededor del punto C, utilizado las respectivas fuerzas con los ángulos descompuestos.

El momento en el punto C es de 1920 [Lb*in].

Nota: ya que no se menciona la fuerza en el punto A, esta se desprecia y no se tiene en cuenta en los calculos. En la imagen adjunta se puede ver el procedimiento desarrollado.

What are the characteristics of low energy waves?
Leokris [45]
I think the correct answer from the choices presented above is the first option. The characteristics of low energy waves are <span>long wavelengths and low frequencies. Energy is established to be indirectly proportional to wavelengths and frequencies.</span>

weeeeeb [17]

Answer:

Time according to earth clock (T0) = 0.22 years (Approx)

Explanation:

Given:

Time taken by light = 4.5 years

Time taken by ship = 5 years

Speed of light = c

Speed of ship (v) = 90% of c = 0.9c

Find:

Time according to earth clock (T0) = ?

Computation:

Time dilation is ,

T(Difference) = \frac{T0}{\sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{c^2} } }\\\\ (5-4.5)= \frac{T0}{\sqrt{1-\frac{(0.9c)^2}{c^2} } }\\\\ 0.5=\frac{T0}{\sqrt{1-0.81} }\\\\T0 =0.2179

Time according to earth clock (T0) = 0.22 years (Approx)

Lina20 [59]

Answer:

33.516 kJ

Explanation:

Potential energy is given by:

PE = mgh

Where m is the mass, g is acceleration due to gravity, and h is the height. In this case:

PE = 38kg x 9.8m/s^2 x 90m = 33516 kg m^2/s^2 = 33516 J = 33.516 kJ
