A car is stopped at a traffic light. It then travels along a straight road so that its distance from the light is given by x(t)=

bt2−ct3, where b = 3.00 m/s^2 and c = 0.100 m/s^3.
Required:
a. Calculate the average velocity of the car for the time interval t = 0 to t = 8.0 s.
b. Calculate the instantaneous velocity of the car at the following times:

1. t = 0
2. t = 4.0 s
3. t = 8.0 s

c. How long after starting from rest is the car again at rest?

Answer:

(a) average velocity = 17.6 m/s

(b) when t = 0, v = 0

when t = 4, v = 19.2 m/s

when t = 8, v = 28.8 m/s

(c) after starting from rest, the car will be at rest again in 20 s

Explanation:

Given;

x(t)=bt²−ct³, substitute the given values and the equation will become;

x(t)=3t²−0.1t³

(a)average velocity = total distance / total time

total distance, x(t) = 3t²−0.1t³

x(8) = 3t²−0.1t³

X(8) = 3(8)² - 0.1(8)³

X(8) = 140.8 m

total time = 8 s

average velocity = 140.8 / 8

average velocity = 17.6 m/s

(b) instantaneous velocity = dx / dt

dx / dt = 6t - 0.3t²

when t = 0

v = 0

when t = 4 s

v = 6(4) - 0.3(4²) = 19.2 m/s

when t = 8 s

v = 6(8) - 0.3(8²) = 28.8 m/s

(c) the velocity is zero at dx / dt = 0

6t - 0.3t² = 0

t(6 - 0.3t) = 0

t = 0 or 6 - 0.3t = 0

t = 0 or 0.3t = 6

t = 0 or t = 6 / 0.3

t= 0 or t = 20 s

After starting from rest, the car will be at rest again in 20 s

6. A 73-kg woman stands on a scale in an elevator. The

olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

b

Explanation:

n = m(g +a)

n= normal force (N)

m=mass (kg)

g=acceleration of gravity

a= acceleration of elevator

rearrange:

a= n/m - g

a= (810 N/73 kg) - 9.8 m/s ^2

a= 1.3 m/s ^2 up

and the acceleration is upwards bc her weight is less than the scale reading

An open 1-m-diameter tank contains water at a depth of 0.7 m when at rest. As the tank is rotated about its vertical axis the ce

Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

To find the angular velocity of the tank at which the bottom of the tank is exposed

From the information given:

At rest, the initial volume of the tank is:

$V_i = \pi R^2 h_i --- (1)$

where;

height h which is the height for the free surface in a rotating tank is expressed as:

$h = \dfrac{\omega^2 r^2}{2g} + C$

at the bottom surface of the tank;

r = 0, h = 0

∴

$h = \dfrac{\omega^2 r^2}{2g} + C$

0 = 0 + C

C = 0

Thus; the free surface height in a rotating tank is:

$h=\dfrac{\omega^2 r^2}{2g} --- (2)$

Now; the volume of the water when the tank is rotating is:

dV = 2π × r × h × dr

Taking the integral on both sides;

$\int \limits ^{V_f}_{0} \ dV = \int \limits ^R_0 \times 2 \pi \times r \times h \ dr$

replacing the value of h in equation (2); we have:

$V_f} = \int \limits ^R_0 \times 2 \pi \times r \times ( \dfrac{\omega ^2 r^2}{2g} ) \ dr$

$V_f = \dfrac{ \pi \omega ^2}{g} \int \limits ^R_0 \ r^3 \ dr$

$V_f = \dfrac{ \pi \omega ^2}{g} \Big [ \dfrac{r^4}{4} \Big]^R_0$

$V_f = \dfrac{ \pi \omega ^2}{g} \Big [ \dfrac{R^4}{4} \Big] --- (3)$

Since the volume of the water when it is at rest and when the angular speed rotates at an angular speed is equal.

Then $V_f = V_i$

Replacing equation (1) and (3)

$\dfrac{\pi \omega^2}{g}( \dfrac{R^4}{4}) = \pi R^2 h_i$

$\omega^2 = \dfrac{4g \times h_i }{R^2}$

$\omega =\sqrt{ \dfrac{4g \times h_i }{R^2}}$

$\omega = \sqrt{\dfrac{4 \times 9.81 \ m/s^2 \times 0.7 \ m}{(0.5)^2} }$

$\omega = \sqrt{109.87 }$

$\mathbf{\omega = 10.48 \ rad/s}$

Finally, the angular velocity of the tank at which the bottom of the tank is exposed = 10.48 rad/s

A 74-kg boy is surfing and catches a wave which gives him an initial speed of 1.6 m/s. He then drops through a height of 1.56 m,

Reptile [31]

Answer:

Work done, W = 1.44 kJ

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of boy, m = 74 kg

Initial speed of boy, u = 1.6 m/s

The boy then drops through a height of 1.56 m

Final speed of boy, v = 8.5 m/s

To find,

Non-conservative work was done on the boy.

Solution,

The work done by the non conservative forces is equal to the sum of total change in kinetic energy and total change in potential energy.

$W=\dfrac{1}{2}m(v^2-u^2)+(0-mgh)$

$W=\dfrac{1}{2}m(v^2-u^2)-mgh$

$W=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 74\times (8.5^2-1.6^2)-74\times 9.8\times 1.56$

W = 1447.21 Joules

or

W = 1.44 kJ

Therefore, the non conservative work done on the boy is 1.44 kJ.
