A video game includes an asteroid that is programmed to move in a straight line across a 17-inch monitor according to the equati

on x=6.5t−2.3 t 3 x=6.5t−2.3t3 , where x is in inches and t is in seconds. At some point during the trip across the screen, the asteroid is at rest. What is the asteroid's acceleration at this point?

Answer:

The asteroid's acceleration at this point is 2.71\ m/s^2

Explanation:

The equation that governs the trajectory of asteroid is given by :

x=6.5t-2.3t^3

The velocity of asteroid is given by :

v=\dfrac{dx}{dt}\\\\v=\dfrac{d(6.5t-2.3t^3)}{dt}\\\\v=6.5-6.9t^2

At some point during the trip across the screen, the asteroid is at rest. It means, v = 0

So,

6.5-6.9t^2=0\\\\t=0.971\ s                      

Acceleration,

a=\dfrac{dv}{dt}\\\\a=\dfrac{d(6.5-6.9t^2)}{dt}\\\\a=-13.8t                        

Put t = 0.971 s

a=-13.8\times 0.197\\\\a=-2.71\ m/s^2

So, the asteroid's acceleration at this point is 2.71\ m/s^2 and it is decelerating.

Which is the result of mitosis and cytokinesis?
Leno4ka [110]
During cytokinesis, the cytoplasm of the cell is divided in half, and the cell membrane grows to enclose each cell, forming two separate cells as a result. The end result of mitosis and cytokinesis is two genetically identical cells where only one cell existed before.

A student attaches a block to a vertical spring so that the block-spring system will oscillate if the block-spring system is rel
vodka [1.7K]

Answer:

Time period of the motion will remain the same while the amplitude of the motion will change

Explanation:

As we know that time period of oscillation of spring block system is given as

T= 2\pi\sqrt{\frac{M}{k}}

now we know that

M = mass of the object

k = spring constant

So here we know that the time period is independent of the gravity

while the maximum displacement of the spring from its mean position will depends on the gravity as

mg = kx

x = \frac{mg}{k}

so we can say that

Time period of the motion will remain the same while the amplitude of the motion will change
