In an arcade video game, a spot is programmed to move across the screen according to x = 9.00t - 0.750t³, where x is distance in

centimeters measured from the left edge of the screen and t is time in seconds. When the spot reaches a screen edge, at either x = 0 or x = 15.0 cm, t is reset to 0 and the spot starts moving again according to x(t). (a) At what time after starting is the spot instantaneously at rest? (b) At what value of x does this occur? (c) What is the spot’s acceleration (including sign) when this occurs? (d) Is it moving right or left just prior to coming to rest? (e) Just after? (f) At what time t > 0 does it first reach an edge of the screen?

Answer:

a) The spot is at rest at t = 2.00 s.

b) The spot is at rest at x = 12 cm.

c) The acceleration at t = 2.00 s is -9.00 cm/s².

d) Before coming to rest, the spot is moving to the right.

e) After t = 2.00, the spot is moving to the left.

f) The spot reaches the edge of the screen at t = 3.46 s.

Explanation:

Hi there!

a) The velocity is defined as the variation of the position over time. If the time interval is very small and being "x" the position of the spot and "t" the time, the instantaneous velocity can be expressed as follows:

v = dx/dt

The position function is the following:

x(t) = 9.00 · t - 0.750 · t³

dx/dt is equal to the derivative of x(t):

v = dx/dt = 9.00 - 3 · 0.750 · t²

v = 9.00 - 2.25 · t²

When the spot is at rest, v = 0.

0 = 9.00 - 2.25 · t²

Solving for t:

-9.00/ -2.25 = t²

t = 2.00 s

The spot is at rest at t = 2.00 s.

b) To find the value of the position at t = 2.00, we have to evaluate the function x(t) at t = 2.00 s.

x(2.00) = 9.00 · (2.00) - 0.750 · (2.00)³

x(2.00) = 12 cm

The spot is at rest at x = 12 cm

c) The acceleration is defined as the variation of the velocity over time. If the time is very small, we get the instantaneous acceleration:

a = dv/dt

Then, we have to derivate the velocity function:

v(t) = 9.00 - 2.25 · t²

a = dv/dt = -2 · 2.25 t

a(t) = -4.50 · t

At t = 2.00 s, the acceleration will be a(2.00):

a(2.00) = -4.50 · 2.00

a(2.00) = -9.00 cm/s²

The acceleration at t = 2.00 s is -9.00 cm/s²

d and e) The velocity indicates the direction of displacement. If it is positive, the spot is moving to the right (away from the origin at x = 0) and if it is negative the spot is returning to the origin, moving to the left. Let´s evaluate the velocity function at t = 1.99 and 2.01:

v(1.99) = 9.00 - 2.25 · (1.99)²

v(1.99) = 0.09 cm/s

v(2.01) = 9.00 - 2.25 · (2.01)²

v(2.01) = -0.09 cm/s

Before coming to rest, the spot is moving to the right. After t = 2.00, the spot is moving to the left.

f) We have to find the time at which x = 0. Notice that since the acceleration is always negative and the spot comes to rest at x = 12 cm and then returns to the origin, the spot will never reach the edge at x = 15 cm. So, let´s find the time at which x = 0:

x = 9.00 · t - 0.750 · t³

At x = 0:

0 = 9.00 · t - 0.750 · t³

Solving for t:

0 = t ( 9.00 - 0.750 t²)

0 = 9.00 - 0.750 t²

-9.00 / - 0.750 = t²

t = 3.46 s

The spot reaches the edge of the screen at t = 3.46 s.

bixtya [17]

Answer:

Fr = 20 (N)

Explanation: See atached file ( free body diagram)

As for Newton´s low

∑ Fy  =  0

-mg + N = 0        ⇒  - 40 + N = 0       ⇒ N  = 40 [Newtons]

by definition :  Fr = μs * N        ⇒  Fr = 0,5 * 40      ⇒  Fr = 20 (N)

∑ Fx  =  0   body is at rest

Fe - Fr = 0

Fr > Fe

Fr > 12 (N)  the body is at rest

Inga [223]

Answer:

a) Stone            v_{y} = - 7.25 ft / s ,  vₓ = 0.362 ft / s

b) tennis ball    v_{y} =  -3.16 ft / s ,   vₓ = 0.634 ft / s

c) golf ball        v_{y} = - 1,536 ft / s, vx = 0.634 ft / s

2) golf ball

Explanation:

1) The average speed is defined with the displacement interval in the given time interval

           v =( x_{f}-x₀) / Δt

let's use this expression for each object

a) Stone

  It tells us that it is released from y₀ = 10 ft and reaches the floor at

t = 0.788 s, but in the problem they tell us that the calculation is for t = 1.38 s

           v_{y} = (0-10) / 1.38

           v_{y} = - 7.25 ft / s

 in this interval a distance of x_{f} = 0.500 ft was moved away from the building (x₀ = 0 ft)

          vₓ = (0.500- 0) / 1.38

          vₓ = 0.362 ft / s

In my opinion it makes no sense to keep measuring the time after the stone has stopped.

b) tennis ball

It leaves the building at a height of y₀= 10ft and at the end of the period it is at a height of y_{f} = 5.63 ft, all this in a time of t = 0.788 + 0.591 = 1.38 s

       

the average vertical speed is

            v_{y} = (5.63 - 10) / 1.38

            v_{y} = -3.16 ft / s

for horizontal velocity the ball leaves the building xo = 0 reaches the floor

x₁ = 0.500 foot and when bouncing it travels x₂ = 0.375 foot, therefore the distance traveled

         x_{f} = x₁ + x₂

         x_{f} = 0.500 + 0.375

         x_{f} = 0.875 ft

we calculate

         vₓ = (0.875 - 0) / 1.38

         vₓ = 0.634 ft / s

c) The golf ball

the vertical displacement y₀ = 10 ft, and y_{f} = 7.88 ft

          v_{y} = (7.88 - 10) / 1.38

          v_{y} = - 1,536 ft / s

the horizontal displacement x₀ = 0 ft to the point xf = 0.875 ft

          vₓ = (0.875 -0) / 1.38

          vₓ = 0.634 ft / s

2) in this part we are asked for the instantaneous speed at the end of the time interval

a) the stone is stopped so its speed is zero

          v_{y} = vₓ = 0

b) the tennis ball

It is at its maximum height so its vertical speed is zero

        v_{y} = 0

horizontal speed does not change

          vₓ = 0.634 ft / s

c) The golf ball

they do not indicate that it is still rising. Therefore its vertical speed is greater than zero

         v_{y} > 0

horizontal speed is constant

         vₓx = 0.634 ft / s

the total velocity of the object can be found with the Pythagorean theorem

         v = √ (vₓ² + v_{y}²)

When reviewing the results, the golf ball is the one with the highest instantaneous speed at the end of the period

Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

0.08 m^3, 48 kg

Explanation:

The density of an object is the amount of mass contained per unit of volume.

Density is given by the equation

d=\frac{m}{V}

where

m is the mass of the object

V is its volume

In this problem, we have a wooden block of dimensions:

2 m, 0.2 m, 0.2 m

So, the volume of the block is

V=(2)(0.2)(0.2)=0.08 m^3

We also know that the density of the block is

d=600 kg/m^3

Therefore, the mass of the block is

m=dV=(600)(0.08)=48 kg
