Refer to the figure shown below.

The velocity of the child and the velocity of the ship should be added vectorially to find the speed and direction of the child relative to the water surface.

The magnitude of the child's velocity is
v = √(2² + 18²) = 18.11 mph

The direction of the child's speed is
θ = tan⁻¹ (18/2) = tan⁻¹ 9 = 83.7° north of east or counterclockwise from the eastern direction.

Answer:
The magnitude is 18.1 mph.
The direction is 84° north of east.

Given a particle that has the velocity v(t) = 3 cos(mt) = 3 cos (0.5t) meters, a. Find the acceleration at 3 seconds. b. Find th
DiKsa [7]

Answer:

a.\rm -1.49\ m/s^2.

b. \rm 50.49\ m.

Explanation:

<u>Given:</u>

  • Velocity of the particle, v(t) = 3 cos(mt) = 3 cos (0.5t) .

<h2>(a):</h2>

The acceleration of the particle at a time is defined as the rate of change of velocity of the particle at that time.

\rm a = \dfrac{dv}{dt}\\=\dfrac{d}{dt}(3\cos(0.5\ t ))\\=3(-0.5\sin(0.5\ t.))\\=-1.5\sin(0.5\ t).

At time t = 3 seconds,

\rm a=-1.5\sin(0.5\times 3)=-1.49\ m/s^2.

<u>Note</u>:<em> The arguments of the sine is calculated in unit of radian and not in degree.</em>

<h2>(b):</h2>

The velocity of the particle at some is defined as the rate of change of the position of the particle.

\rm v = \dfrac{dr}{dt}.\\\therefore dr = vdt\Rightarrow \int dr=\int v\ dt.

For the time interval of 2 seconds,

\rm \int\limits^2_0 dr=\int\limits^2_0 v\ dt\\r(t=2)-r(t=0)=\int\limits^2_0 3\cos(0.5\ t)\ dt

The term of the left is the displacement of the particle in time interval of 2 seconds, therefore,

\Delta r=3\ \left (\dfrac{\sin(0.5\ t)}{0.05} \right )\limits^2_0\\=3\ \left (\dfrac{\sin(0.5\times 2)-sin(0.5\times 0)}{0.05} \right )\\=3\ \left (\dfrac{\sin(1.0)}{0.05} \right )\\=50.49\ m.

It is the displacement of the particle in 2 seconds.
