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

A constant net torque is applied to an object. Which one of the following will NOT be constant?
love history [14]

Answer:

B) Angular velocity

Explanation:

The equivalent of Newton's second law for the rotational motions can be written as:

\tau = I \alpha

where

\tau is the net torque applied to the object

I is the moment of inertia

\alpha is the angular acceleration

From the formula we see that when a constant net torque \tau is applied, then the object also has a constant angular acceleration, \alpha.

But we also know that

\alpha = \frac{d\omega}{dt}

where \omega is the angular velocity: so, a constant angular acceleration means that the angular velocity of the object is changing, so the correct answer is

B) Angular velocity

(moment of inertia and center of gravity do not change since they only depend on the mass and the geometry/shape of the object, which do not change)

The momentum of an electron is 1.75 times larger than the value computed non-relativistically. What is the speed of the electron
FrozenT [24]

Answer:

<em>Speed of the electron is 2.46 x 10^8 m/s</em>

<em></em>

Explanation:

momentum of the electron before relativistic effect = M_{0} V

where M_{0} is the rest mass of the electron

V is the velocity of the electron.

under relativistic effect, the mass increases.

under relativistic effect, the new mass M will be

M = M_{0}/ \sqrt{1 - \beta ^{2}  }

where

\beta = V/c

c  is the speed of light = 3 x 10^8 m/s

V is the speed with which the electron travels.

The new momentum will therefore be

==> M_{0}V/ \sqrt{1 - \beta ^{2}  }

It is stated that the relativistic momentum is 1.75 times the non-relativistic momentum. Equating, we have

1.75M_{0} V = M_{0}V/ \sqrt{1 - \beta ^{2}  }

the equation reduces to

1.75 = 1/ \sqrt{1 - \beta ^{2}  }

square both sides of the equation, we have

3.0625 = 1/(1 - \beta ^{2} )

3.0625 - 3.0625\beta ^{2} = 1

2.0625 = 3.0625\beta ^{2}

\beta ^{2} = 0.67

β = 0.819

substitute for  \beta = V/c

V/c = 0.819

V = c x 0.819

V = 3 x 10^8 x 0.819 = <em>2.46 x 10^8 m/s</em>

A plane flying at a steady speed of 100 m/s accelerates to 150 m/s in 10 seconds. What is the plane’s acceleration?
Rashid [163]

A plane flying initially at 100 m/s uses an acceleration of 5 m/s² to reach a velocity of 150 m/s in 10 seconds.

<h3>What is acceleration?</h3>

Acceleration is the change in velocity over time.

A plane is flying initially at 100 m/s (u) and it accelerates to 150 m/s (v) in 10 s (t). We can calculate its acceleration using the following expression.

a = v - u / t = (150 m/s - 100 m/s) / 10 s = 5 m/s²

A plane flying initially at 100 m/s uses an acceleration of 5 m/s² to reach a velocity of 150 m/s in 10 seconds.
