At t1 = 2.00 s, the acceleration of a particle in counterclockwise circular motion is 6.00 i + 4.00 j m/s2 . It moves at constan

t speed. At time t2 = 5.00 s, its acceleration is 4.00 i - 6.00 j m/s2 . What is the radius of the path taken by the particle if t2-t1 is less than one period?

The particle moves with constant speed in a circular path, so its acceleration vector always points toward the circle's center.

At time t_1, the acceleration vector has direction \theta_1 such that

\tan\theta_1=\dfrac{4.00}{6.00}\implies\theta_1=33.7^\circ

which indicates the particle is situated at a point on the lower left half of the circle, while at time t_2 the acceleration has direction \theta_2 such that

\tan\theta_2=\dfrac{-6.00}{4.00}\implies\theta_2=-56.3^\circ

which indicates the particle lies on the upper left half of the circle.

Notice that \theta_1-\theta_2=90^\circ. That is, the measure of the major arc between the particle's positions at t_1 and t_2 is 270 degrees, which means that t_2-t_1 is the time it takes for the particle to traverse 3/4 of the circular path, or 3/4 its period.

Recall that

\|\vec a_{\rm rad}\|=\dfrac{4\pi^2R}{T^2}

where R is the radius of the circle and T is the period. We have

t_2-t_1=(5.00-2.00)\,\mathrm s=3.00\,\mathrm s\implies T=\dfrac{3.00\,\rm s}{\frac34}=4.00\,\mathrm s

and the magnitude of the particle's acceleration toward the center of the circle is

\|\vec a_{\rm rad}\|=\sqrt{\left(6.00\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)^2+\left(4.00\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)^2}=7.21\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}

So we find that the path has a radius R of

7.21\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}=\dfrac{4\pi^2R}{(4.00\,\mathrm s)^2}\implies\boxed{R=2.92\,\mathrm m}

calculate the amount of heat (in btu) needed to raise the temp of 2.5lb of glass from 45°f to 350°f. the specific heat capacity
Firlakuza [10]
So you would use the equation Q=cmΔT, where c is the specific heat, m is the mass, and ΔT is change in temperature. Q, or heat added, would equal (0.187)(2.5)(350-45), which simplifies to 142.5875 btu.

A roller coaster is traveling at 13 m/s when it approaches a hill that is 400 m long. Heading down the hill, it accelerates at 4
SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

The  value is    v = 47 \  m/s

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The initial  speed of the roller coaster is u =  13 \  m/s

    The  length of the hill is  l   = 400 \  m

    The  acceleration of the  roller coaster is a=4.0 \ m/s^2

Generally the acceleration is mathematically represented as

      a =  \frac{ v - u}{ t_f -  t_i }

Here  t_i is the initial time which is equal to zero

         v_f is the final velocity which is mathematically represented as

          v_f  =  \frac{d}{ t_f}

So  

     a =  \frac{ \frac{d}{d_f}  - u }{ t_f - t_i}

     4 = \frac{\frac{400}{ t_f}  - 13}{t_f - 0}

      4 =  \frac{400 - 13t_f}{ t_f} *  \frac{1}{t_f}

     4t_f ^2  +13f  + 400 =

Solving this using quadratic formula we obtain

    t_f =  8.5 \ s

     t_f =  -11.8 \ s

Generally  time cannot be negative so

       t_f =  8.5 \ s

Generally the  final velocity is mathematically represented as

         v = \frac{400}{8.5}

         v = 47 \  m/s
