Answer:
a = 0.7267
, acceleration is positive therefore the speed is increasing
Explanation:
The definition of acceleration is
a = dv / dt
they give us the function of speed
v = - (t-1) sin (t² / 2)
a = - sin (t²/2) - (t-1) cos (t²/2) 2t / 2
a = - sin (t²/2) - t (t-1) cos (t²/2)
the acceleration for t = 4 s
a = - sin (4²/2) - 4 (4-1) cos (4²/2)
a = -sin 8 - 12 cos 8
remember that the angles are in radians
a = 0.7267
the problem does not indicate the units, but to be correct they must be m/s²
We see that the acceleration is positive therefore the speed is increasing
Average speed = total distance / total time.
That's 172 km / 5 hr = 34.4 km//hr
Option ( c ) is correct.
Using the formula for power
P= power
i= current= 0.4 A
R= resistance= 30 ohm
so power= (0.4)² (30)
Power=4.8 W
