A particle P, starting from rest at A, moves in a straight line ABCD. It accelerates uniformly at 5ms-2 from A to B. From B to C

it travels at constant velocity, and from C to D it slows down uniformly at 4ms-2, coming to rest at D. Given that AB=10m and that the total time P the particle is in motion is 20s, find the distance BC

First, we find the time spent accelerating:
s = ut + 1/2 at²; u = 0
10 = 1/2 5t²
t = 2 seconds
Velocity at point B:
v = u + at; u = 0, a = 5 m/s², t = 2 s
v = (5)(2) = 10 m/s

Now, the same velocity is at C so we find the time decelerating to 0 in CD
v = u + at, v = 0, u = 10 m/s, a = -4 m/s²
0 = 10 - 4t
t = 2.5 seconds
Total time = time(AB) + time(BC) + time(CD)
20 = 2 + time(BC) + 2.5
time(BC) = 15.5 seconds

Distance = velocity x time
BC = 10 x 15.5
= 155 m

How to write 3600 in babylonian numerals?
katrin [286]

Answer:

Each vertical bar | (pipe) equals a unit and each < (corner wedge or bracket) equals a tenth. The change of power of sixty (60 ^ 1 = 60, 60 ^ 2 = 3600, 30 ^ 3 = 216000, etc.) is represented by a space.

Find the total mass of the triangular region shown below. All lengths are in cm, and the density of the region is sigma(x) = 1 +
anastassius [24]

Answer:

3 grams

Step-by-step explanation:

We are going to take the mass of a bunch of little strips below the triangle "roof." To do this, we must figure out what formula for the mass we'll use, in this case, we'll use:

Mass of strip = denisty * area = (1+x)*y*deltax grams

now, because the "roof" of the triangle contains two different integrals (it completely changes direction), we will use TWO integrals!

**pretend ∈ is the sum symbol

Mass of left part = lim x->0 ∈ (1+x)*y*deltax = inegral -1 to 0 of (1+x)*3*(x+1) = 3 * integral -1 to 0 of (x^2 + 2x + 1) = 3 *  1/3 = 1

Mass of left part = lim x->0 ∈ (1+x)*y*deltax = inegral 0 to 1 of (1+x)*3*(-x+1) = 3 * integral 0 to 1 of (-x^2 + 1) = 3 * 2/3 = 2

Total mass = mass left + mass right = 1 + 2 = 3 grams
