Answer:

the Question is incomplete,the complete question is

"Cars A and B travel in a straight line. The distance of A from the starting point is given as a function of time by xA(t)=αt+βt2, with α=2.60m/s and β=1.20m/s2. The distance of B from the starting point is xB(t)=γt2−δt3, with y=2.80m/s2 and δ=0.20m/s3. (a) Which car is ahead just after the two cars leave the starting point? (b) At what time(s) are the cars at the same point? (c) At what time(s) is the distance from A to B neither increasing nor decreasing? (d) At what time(s) do A and B have the same acceleration?"

a.Car A is ahead after leaving the starting point

b.t=0secs,t=2.27secs and t=5.73secs

c.t=1secs and t=4.33secs

d .t=2.67secs

Explanation:

First we need to write out the giving expressions for the distance from the question

For distance A we have

x_{a}(t)=\alpha t +\beta t^{2}\\

and for distance B we have

x_{b}(t)=\gamma t^{2} -\δt^{3}\\.

a.  Note for us to compare the car that will be ahead we need to determine the initial velocity of each car i.e at t=0.

Since the expression for the velocity is not giving, we apply our knowledge of instantaneous motion which involves us differentiating the distance in order to get the velocity.

V=\frac{dx}{dt} \\

and recall  that for y=ax^{n} \\\frac{dy}{dx}=a*nx^{n-1}  \\

for velocity of car  A, we have

v_{a}=\frac{d(\alpha t +\beta t^{2})}{dt}\\v_{a}=\alpha +2\beta t\\

we substitute t=o

v_{a}=\alpha \\\\v_{a}=2.6m/s

for velocity of car  B, we have

v_{b}=\frac{d(\gamma  t^{2} -\delta t^{3})}{dt}\\v_{b}= 2\gamma t  -3\delta t^{2}\\

at t=0

v_{b}=0

in conclusion, since the initial velocity of car An is greater than that of car B, Car A is ahead after leaving the starting point

b. for the time at which the cars are the same point, we need to find the time at which the cars have equal position. this can be done by  equating the position of both cars i.e

x_{a}(t)=x_{b}(t)\\  \alpha t +\beta t^{2}=\gamma t^{2} -\δt^{3}\\

if we carry out simply arithmetic, we arrive at

\delta t^{2}+(\beta -\gamma)t +\alpha =0\\

applying quadratic formula, we determine the value of t to be

t=2.27secs \\t=5.73secs\\

also note that at the starting point before the two cares take-off they are also at the same position i.e at t=0 hence the time which the cars are at the same point are

t=0secs\\t=2.27secs \\t=5.73secs\\

c. the distance will be constant when the two cars move at the same velocity i.e

v_{a}=v_{b} \\

\alpha +2\beta t=2\gamma t -3\delta t^{2}\\

if we rearrange the equation and substitute the value of the constants, we arrive at

0.6t^{2} -3.2t +2.6=0\\

Solving the simple quadratic equation, we arrive at the values of t which are

t=1secs\\t=4.33secs\\

d. To determine the time at which the two cars will have the same acceleration, we need to determine the expression for the acceleration which we can get by differentiating the the velocity for each car

a_{a}(t)=\frac{d(\alpha +2\beta t) }{dt}\\ a_{a}(t)=2\beta \\

and for car B we have the acceleration to be

a_{b}(t)=\frac{d(2\gamma t - 3\delta t^{2})}{dt}\\ a_{b}(t)=2\gamma -6\delta t\\

Hence to have the same acceleration

a_{a}(t)=a_{b}(t)\\2\beta=2\gamma -6\delta t\\

Making t the subject of formula,

t=\frac{\gamma - \beta}{3\delta}\\t=\frac{2.8-1.3}{3*0.2}\\ t=2.67secs\\

Hence the cars will have the same acceleration at t=2.67secs

Answer:

a) They are in the same point

b) t = 0 s, t = 2.27 s, t = 5.73 s

c) t = 1 s, t = 4.33 s

d) t = 2.67 s

Explanation:

Given equations are:

x_{a}(t) = at+bt^2

x_{b}(t) = ct^2-dt^3

Constants are:

a = 2.60 m/s, b = 1.20 m/s^2, c= 2.80 m/s^2, d = 0.20 m/s^3

a) "Just after leaving the starting point" means that t = 0. So, if we look the equations, both x_a(t) and x_b(t) depend on t and don't have constant terms.

So both cars A and B are in the same point.

b) Firstly, they are in the same point in x = 0 at t = 0. But for generalized case, we must equalize equations and solve quadratic equation where roots will give us proper t value(s).

at+bt^2 = ct^2-dt^3

2.6t + 1.2t^2 = 2.8t^2 - 0.2t^3\\0.2t^2 - 1.6t + 2.6 = 0\\t^2 - 8t + 13 = 0

t_1 = 4 - \sqrt{3} = 2.27 s, t_1 = 4 + \sqrt{3} = 5.73 s

c) Since the distance isn't changing, the velocities are equal. To find velocities, we need to take the derivatives of both equations with respect to time and equalize them.

v_a(t) = \frac{d}{d(t)}x_a(t) = a + 2bt \\v_b(t) = \frac{d}{d(t)}x_b(t) = 2ct - 3dt^2\\a+2bt = 2ct - 3dt^2\\3dt^2+2(b-c)t+a = 0\\0.6t^2-3.2t+2.6 = 0

t_1 = 1 s, t_2 = 4.33 s

d) For same acceleration, we we need to take the derivatives of velocity equations with respect to time and equalize them.

a_a(t) = \frac{d}{d(t)}v_a(t) = 2b \\a_b(t) = \frac{d}{d(t)}v_b(t) = 2c - 6dt\\2b = 2c - 6dt\\3dt = c - b\\t = (c - b)/3d = (2.8 - 1.2)/(3*0.2) = 2.67 s

diamong [38]

Answer:

a) to the right

b) up

c) down

d) there will be no force on the proton

e) there will be no force on the proton

Explanation:

The complete question is

If the velocity of a proton is straight up(thumb pointing up) then RHR2 (right hand rule) shows that the force points to the left. What would the direction of the force be if the velocity were a)down, b)to the right, c)to the left, d)into the page, and e)out of the page?

The right hand rule for a positive charge states that...

Hold the thumb of the right hand at right angle to the rest of the fingers, and the rest of the fingers parallel to one another, and pointing away from the body. If the thumb shows the velocity of a positive charge in a magnetic field, and the fingers all point in the direction of the magnetic field, then the palm will push in the direction of the force on the positive charge (proton).

From this, we can deduce from the original statement about this proton that the direction of the field is into the screen of this computer. with that field direction held constant, we can work out that

a) if the thumb point down, the force will be to the right

b) if the thumb points to the right, the force will be upwards

c)  if the thumb points to the left, the force is downwards

d)  if the thumb points into the page, then there will be no force on the proton since the proton must travel perpendicularly to the magnetic field for a force to be induced on it

e) explanation is the same as foe option d.
