I need help setting this problem up. Please help! A mother pushes a stroller up a hill, with the center of the stroller 1 meter

ahead of her body. She maintains contact with the stroller at all times. Her position is x(t), speed is v(t) and her acceleration is a(t). What are the position, velocity, and acceleration of the stroller at any time t?

The only thing you can derive ...maybe ... from the given information is that
the stroller's x(t) is 1 + the mother's x(t).  And if her progress is not strictly
along the x-axis, then even <em>that</em> statement isn't true.

If the stroller's v(t) and a(t) were not identical to the mother's v(t)and a(t), then
mother and stroller would "come apart".  But you've told us that they're always
in contact, so their v(t) and a(t) must be identical.

A slightly more rigorous (and mathematical) argument is that since the mother's
and the stroller's x(t) differ (at most) only by a constant, then their derivatives
x'(t) (which is v(t)) and x''(t) (which is a(t)) are equal.

when astronauts work in space, they are sometimes attached to the spacecraft by a line called an umbilical. Why do you think the
wariber [46]
Probably for the umbilical cord that connects babies (from their early stages in the womb to their removal) to their mothers. The cord is cut, forming the belly button. This is analogous to astronauts in space.

The length of the assembly decreases by 0.006 in. when an axial a- force is applied by means of rigid end plates. Determine
Triss [41]

Answer:

(a) The magnitude of the applied force is (0.0001524k) Newton

(b) Corresponding stress in the steel core = (0.0001524k/area) Newton per meter square

Explanation:

(a) From Hookes law of elasticity,

Force applied = force constant (k) × compression

compression = 0.006 in = 0.006 × 0.0254 = 0.0001524 meter

Force applied = k × 0.0001524 = (0.0001524k) Newton

(b) Stress = Force applied (Newton)/area of steel core (meter square) = (0.0001524k/area) Newton per meter square

There are 8.8 liters of gas in a piston at a pressure of 1.75 atmospheres. The temperature remains constant, and the gas is comp
saveliy_v [14]

The new pressure P2 is 2.48 atmosphere.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Here, the one of the product of pressure and volume is equal to the products of pressure and volume of other.

By using Boyles's law,

               pressure is inversely proportional to volume,

                                         P1 V1 = P2 V2

where P1, V1 represents the first pressure and volume,

           P2, V2 represents the second pressure and volume

                                              P2 = (P1 V1) / V2

                                                    = (1.75 \times 8.8) / 6.2

                                              P2  = 2.48 atmosphere.
