If two objects travel through space along two different curves, it’s often important to know whether they will collide. (Will a

missile hit its moving target? Will two aircraft collide?) The curves might intersect, but we need to know whether the objects are in the same position at the same time. Suppose the trajectories of two particles are given by the vector functions: r1(t)= r2(t)=<4t-3, t^2, 5t-6> for t>=0.Do the particles collide?

Answer:

<em>Both objects collide at t=3 in the point  <9,9,9></em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Collision Of Moving Objects </em>

Two objects can describe different trajectories in the space. Those trajectories can intersect in one or more points but it doesn't mean they collide. Collision occurs if they are in the same position at the same time. If we know the positions as a function of time of each object, we could try so find if, for a given time, they are in the same position.

The positions of two object are given as

r1(t)=

r2(t)=

Let's find out if there is at least one value of t that makes both positions to be the same. We can try by equating one of the three coordinates and testing if the value of t make both have the same x,y,z coordinate. Let's try equating the x-components of both

t^2=4t-3

Rearranging

t^2-4t+3=0

Factoring

(t-1)(t-3)=0

We found two solutions

t=1,\ t=3

for t=1 the x-coordinates are

x1=t^2=1

x2=4t-3=1

For t=3

x1=t^2=9

x2=4t-3=9

Now we'll test both values in the y-coordinates

y1=7t-12

y2=t^2

For t=1

y1=-5

y2=1

Thus they don't collide at t=1. Let's try t=3

y1=7(3)-12=9

y2=3^2=9

Now let's try the z-coordinate for t=3

z1=t^2=9

z2=5t-6=9

Since the three coordinates match, we can say both objects collide at t=3 in the point  <9,9,9>

A store sells mugs. Each mug costs the same amount. During a sale, the store reduces the price of each mug by $1.75. Wen spends
Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

  • $7.39

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the initial price be x

<u>Then the reduced price is </u>

  • x - 1.75

<u>If 5 mugs cost $28.20, we have equation:</u>

  • (x - 1.75)*5 = 28.20
  • x - 1.75 = 28.20/5
  • x - 1.75 = 5.64
  • x = 1.75 + 5.64
  • x = 7.39

Initial price for 1 mug was $7.39

El volumen que queda entre la esfera y el cubo es:  30.49cm^3

<h3>¿Como calcular el volume sobrante?</h3>

El volumen sobrante será simplemente la diferencia entre el volumen del cubo y el volumen de la esfera.

Para el cubo que tiene una arista de 4cm, el volumen es:

V = (4cm)^3 = 64 cm^3

Para la esfera con un diametro de 4cm, el radio es:

R = 4cm/2 = 2cm

Y el volumen será:

V' = (4/3)*3.141592654*(2cm)^3 = 33.51 cm^3

El volumen que queda entre la esfera y el cubo es:

V - V' = 64 cm^3 - 33.51 cm^3 = 30.49cm^3
