If a particle's position is given by x = 4 − 12 t + 3 t^ 2 (where t is in seconds and x is in meters), what is its velocity at s

t = 1 s ? b) Is it moving in the positive or negative direction of x just then? c) What is its speed just then? d) Is the speed increasing or decreasing just then? (Try answering the next two questions without further calculations.) e) Is there ever an instant when the velocity is zero? If so, give the time t ; if not, answer no. f) Is there a time after t = 3 s when the particle is moving in the negative direction of x ? If so, give the time t ; if not, answer no.

a) -6 m/s

The particle's position is given by

x=3t^2-12t+4

where t is the time.

The velocity of the particle can be found by calculating the derivative of the particle's position with respect to the time:

v=x'(t)=3(2t)-12=6t-12

So, the velocity at instant t=1 can be found by substituting t=1 in this formula:

v(1 s)=6(1)-12=-6 m/s

b) Negative direction

At instant t=1 second, the particle's velocity is

v=-6 m/s

we see that this velocity is negative: therefore, this means that the particle is moving along the negative x-direction.

c) 6 m/s

The particle's speed is just equal to the magnitude of the velocity:

speed = |v|

Since the speed is a scalar and velocity is a vector.

Since the velocity is

v=-6 m/s

Then, the speed of the particle is

speed = |-6 m/s| = 6 m/s

d) Increasing

The speed is the magnitude of the velocity, so we can write

speed = |v| = |6t-12|

We notice that at t = 1 s, for little increments of t the term (6t) is increasing in magnitude, while the constant term -12 remains constant. This means that the whole function

|6t-12|

is increasing at t=1 s, so the speed is increasing.

e) yes, at t = 2 s

In order to find an instant in which the velocity is zero, we just need to set v(t)=0 in the equation:

6t-12 =0

and solving the equation for t, we find

6t=12\\t=\frac{12}{6}=2

So, at t = 2 seconds the velocity is zero.

f)  No

The particle is moving in the negative direction of x when the velocity vector v(t) is negative.

The velocity vector is

v(t) = 6t -12

we see that at t=3 s, it is equal to

v(3) = 6(3)-12 = 18-12=+6

so it is positive.

For every time t > 3 s, we notice that the term (6t) in the formula is increasing and always positive, and since it is always larger than the constant negative term (-12), we can conclude that the velocity is always positive for every time > 3 seconds.

Define moment of momentum. at which condition is it's magnitude zero?​
ololo11 [35]

Let's start with the concept of momentum. What is it? Linear momentum in physics is mathematically written as a product of mass and velocity of an object. Now let us suppose a body of mass m is moving in an inertial frame of reference with velocity v. Consider the fact that no external force is acting on the system. The momentum of this body is given by mv, where m is the mass and v is its velocity. In case of simple real world problems not delving into the realms of relativity, mass is a conserved quantity and it cannot be zero. Hence the velocity of the body must be zero and hence the momentum.

However, photons are considered to have a rest mass zero.

However note the point carefully "rest mass". A body in motion cannot have mass to be zero.

During 57 seconds of use, 330 C of charge flow through a microwave oven. Compute the size of the electric current.
swat32

Answer:

5.78amps

Explanation:

Given data

Time t= 57 seconds

Charge Q= 330C

Current I= ??

The expression for the electric current is given as

Q= It

Substituting we have

330= I*57

I= 330/57

I=5.78 amps

Hence the current is 5.78amps

A laser pulse of duration 25 ms has a total energy of 1.4 J. The wavelength of this radiation is
SpyIntel [72]

Answer:

n = 4 x 10¹⁸ photons

Explanation:

First, we will calculate the energy of one photon in the radiation:

E = \frac{hc}{\lambda}\\\\

where,

E = Energy of one photon = ?

h = Plank's Constant = 6.625 x 10⁻³⁴ J.s

c = speed of light = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

λ = wavelength of radiation = 567 nm = 5.67 x 10⁻⁷ m

Therefore,

E = \frac{(6.625\ x\ 10^{-34}\ J.s)(3\ x\ 10^8\ m/s)}{5.67\ x\ 10^{-7}\ m}

E = 3.505 x 10⁻¹⁹ J

Now, the number of photons to make up the total energy can be calculated as follows:

Total\ Energy = nE\\1.4\ J = n(3.505\ x\ 10^{-19}\ J)\\n = \frac{1.4\ J}{3.505\ x\ 10^{-19}\ J}\\

<u>n = 4 x 10¹⁸ photons</u>
