A single conservative force F = (7.0x - 11) N, where x is in meters, acts on a particle moving along an x axis. The potential en

Umnica [9.8K]

Answer:

(a) 34.6429J

(b) -1.57 m

Explanation:

The derivative of the potential energy with respect to the position is equal to the negative of the force, so:

$-\frac{dU}{dx}=F\\ dU=-Fdx$

Then, if we integer both sides, we get:

∫dU = -∫(7x - 11)dx

$U=\frac{-7}{2}x^{2} + 11x + c$

we know that U is equal to 26 J when x is zero, so:

$U=\frac{-7}{2}x^{2} + 11x + c$

$26=\frac{-7}{2}(0)^{2} + 11(0) + c$

$26=c$

Finally, the equation for the potential energy is:

$U(x)=\frac{-7}{2}x^{2} + 11x + 26$

Therefore, the maximum positive potential energy is the energy when x is equal to 11/7. That is because the equation of U is the equation of a parable, and the vertex in a parable is given by:

$x=\frac{-b}{2a} = \frac{-11}{2(-7/2)} =\frac{11}{7}$

Where b is the number beside x and a is the number beside $x^{2}$ , Then, the value of maximum U is:

$U(11/7)=\frac{-7}{2}(11/7)^{2} + 11(11/7) + 26$

$U(11/7)=34.6429J$

On the other hand, the negative and positive values of x where the potential energy is equal to zero is calculated as:

$U(x)=\frac{-7}{2}x^{2} + 11x + 26$

$0=\frac{-7}{2}x^{2} + 11x + 26$

if we solve this using the quadratic equation, we get:

$x =\frac{-11+\sqrt{11^{2}-4(-7/2)(26)} }{2(-7/2)}=-1.5747$

$x =\frac{-11-\sqrt{11^{2}-4(-7/2)(26)} }{2(-7/2)}=4.7175$

Finally, the negative and positive values of x where the potential energy is equal to zero are -1.5747 and 4.7175 respectively.

aliya0001 [1]

Answer:

D₂= 167,21 cm : Magnitude of the second displacement

β= 21.8° , countercockwise from the positive x-axis: Direction of the second displacement

Explanation:

We find the x-y components for the given vectors:

i: unit vector in x direction

j:unit vector in y direction

D₁: Displacement Vector 1

D₂: Displacement Vector 2

R= resulta displacement vector

D₁= 152*cos110°(i)+152*sin110°(j)=-51.99i+142.83j

D₂= -D₂(i)-D₂(j)

R= 131*cos38°(i)+ 131*sin38°(j) = 103.23i+80.65j

We propose the vector equation for sum of vectors:

D₁+ D₂= R

-51.99i+142.83j+D₂x(i)-D₂y(j) = 103.23i+80.65j

-51.99i+D₂x(i)=103.23i

D₂x=103.23+51.99=155.22 cm

+142.83j-D₂y(j) =+80.65j

D₂y=142.83-80.65=62.18 cm

Magnitude and direction of the second displacement

$D_{2} =\sqrt{(D_{x})^{2} +(D_{y} )^{2} }$

$D_{2} =\sqrt{(155.22)^{2} +(62.18 )^{2} }$

D₂= 167.21 cm

Direction of the second displacement

$\beta = tan^{-1} \frac{D_{y}}{D_{x} }$

$\beta = tan^{-1} \frac{62.18}{155.22 }$

β= 21.8°

D₂= 167,21 cm : Magnitude of the second displacement

β= 21.8.° , countercockwise from the positive x-axis: Direction of the second displacement

Why does the moon go through phases?

givi [52]

Answer:

The Moon has phases because it orbits Earth, which causes the portion we see illuminated to change.

Explanation:

The Moon takes 27.3 days to orbit Earth, but the lunar phase cycle (from new Moon to new Moon) is 29.5 days. ... As the Sun sets, the Moon rises with the side that faces Earth fully exposed to sunlight (5).
