c. Your expression from part b is a transcendental equation, meaning that you can't solve it for t. However, it's not hard to use trial and error to find the time needed to travel a specific distance. To the nearest 0.01 s, find the time Lewis needed to sprint 100.0 m.

Answer:

a.

\displaystyle a(0 )=8.133\ m/s^2

\displaystyle a(2)=2.05\ m/s^2

\displaystyle a(4)=0.52\ m/s^2

b.\displaystyle X(t)=11.81(t+1.45\ e^{-0.6887t})-17.15

c. t=9.9 \ sec

Explanation:

Modeling With Functions

Careful measurements have produced a model of one sprinter's velocity at a given t, and it's is given by

\displaystyle V(t)=a(1-e^{bt})

For Carl Lewis's run at the 1987 World Championships, the values of a and b are

\displaystyle a=11.81\ ,\ b=-0.6887

Please note we changed the value of b to negative to make the model have sense. Thus, the equation for the velocity is

\displaystyle V(t)=11.81(1-e^{-0.6887t})

a. What was Lewis's acceleration at t = 0 s, 2.00 s, and 4.00 s?

To compute the accelerations, we must find the function for a as the derivative of v

\displaystyle a(t)=\frac{dv}{dt}=11.81(0.6887\ e^{0.6887t})

\displaystyle a(t)=8.133547\ e^{-0.6887t}

For t=0

\displaystyle a(0)=8.133547\ e^o

\displaystyle a(0 )=8.133\ m/s^2

For t=2

\displaystyle a(2)=8.133547\ e^{-0.6887\times 2}

\displaystyle a(2)=2.05\ m/s^2

\displaystyle a(4)=8.133547\ e^{-0.6887\times 4}

\displaystyle a(4)=0.52\ m/s^2

b. Find an expression for the distance traveled at time t.

The distance is the integral of the velocity, thus

\displaystyle X(t)=\int v(t)dt \int 11.81(1-e^{-0.6887t})dt=11.81(t+\frac{e^{-0.6887t}}{0.6887})+C

\displaystyle X(t)=11.81(t+1.45201\ e^{-0.6887t})+C

To find the value of C, we set X(0)=0, the sprinter starts from the origin of coordinates

\displaystyle x(0)=0=>11.81\times1.45201+C=0

Solving for C

\displaystyle c=-17.1482\approx -17.15

Now we complete the equation for the distance

\displaystyle X(t)=11.81(t+1.45\ e^{-0.6887t})-17.15

c. Find the time Lewis needed to sprint 100.0 m.

The equation for the distance cannot be solved by algebraic procedures, but we can use approximations until we find a close value.

We are required to find the time at which the distance is 100 m, thus

\displaystyle X(t)=100=>11.81(t+1.45\ e^{-0.6887t})-17.15=100

Rearranging

\displaystyle t+1.45\ e^{-0.6887t}=9.92

We define an auxiliary function f(t) to help us find the value of t.

\displaystyle f(t)=t+1.45\ e^{-0.687t}-9.92

Let's try for t=9 sec

\displaystyle f(9)=9+1.45\ e^{-0.687\times 9}-9.92=-0.92

Now with t=9.9 sec

\displaystyle f(9.9)=9.9+1.45\ e^{-0.687\times 9.9}-9.92=-0.0184

That was a real close guess. One more to be sure for t=10 sec

\displaystyle f(10)=10+1.45\ e^{-0.687\times 10}-9.92=0.081

The change of sign tells us we are close enough to the solution. We choose the time that produces a smaller magnitude for f(t).  

At t\approx 9.9\ sec, \text{ Lewis sprinted 100 m}

Coiling wire around an iron core and applying an electric current through the wire creates a temporary magnet called an electrom
Serggg [28]

Answer:

C) Use a battery with more voltage.

Explanation:

The equation for the magnetic field around a coil is given by,

B = μ₀NI

where,

B = Magnetic flux density

μ₀ = permeability

N = number of turns per meter

I = Current in the wire

So when using a higher voltage battery, more current passes through the battery as resistance of the wire remains the same.

A spherical ball of charged particles has a uniform charge density. In terms of the ball's radius R, at what radial distances in
eimsori [14]

Answer:

Electric field at radius r inside the solid sphere is

Electric field at radius r between inner radius and outer radius of the shell is

E=0 N/C

Explanation:Given

The radius of the solid sphere is

The charge on the solid sphere is

The inner radius of the shell is

The outer radius of the shell is

The total charge on the shell is

PART(A)

The magnitude of electric field at radius r where  \\The volumetric charge density of the solid sphere will be

The charge enclosed by the radius r inside the solid sphere is

rho=

According to gauss law

PART(B)

The electric field at radius r where

The shell is conducting so due to induction of charge

The charge induced on the inner surface of the shell is equal in magnitude of the total charge on the solid sphere but polarity will be changed because a conducting shell has no net electric field inside the shell

So,

The charge on the inner surface of the shell is

Due to conservation of the charge on the shell

The charge accumulated on the outer surface of the shell is

The charge enclosed by the radius r where

According to gauss law

A sand core used to form the internal surfaces of a steel casting experiences a buoyancy force of 225 n. the volume of the mold
pashok25 [27]

Newton’s second law gives us the relationship of force F, mass m and acceleration a. The formula is given as:

<span>F = m a                  --> 1</span>

However we also know that the relationship of mass m, density ρ, and volume V is:

<span>m = V ρ                 --> 2</span>

Therefore substituting equation 2 to equation 1:

F = ρ V a = ρ V g

where a is acceleration due to gravity, ρ is density of water and V is the volume of the casting, therefore:

F = (1x10^-3 kg/cm^3) (4840 cm^3) (9.8 m/s^2)

F = 47.432 kg m/s^2

F = 47.432 N

 

Going back to equation 1:

47.432 N = m (9.8 m/s^2)

m = 4.84 kg

 

<span>Hence the weight of the final casting is 4.84 kg</span>
