A particle moving along the x-axis has its velocity described by the function vx =2t2m/s, where t is in s. its initial position

Nesterboy [21]

The position of the object at time t =2.0 s is 6.4 m.

Velocity vₓ of a body is the rate at which the position x of the object changes with time.

Therefore,

$v_x= \frac{dx}{dt}$

Write an equation for x.

$dx=v_xdt\\ x=\int v_xdt$

Substitute the equation for vₓ =2t² in the integral.

$x=\int v_xdt\\ =\int2t^2dt\\ =\frac{2t^3}{3} +C$

Here, the constant of integration is C and it is determined by applying initial conditions.

When t =0, x = 1. 1m

$x= \frac{2t^3}{3} +C\\ x_0=1.1\\ x= (\frac{2t^3}{3} +1.1)m$

Substitute 2.0s for t.

$x= (\frac{2t^3}{3} +1.1)m\\ =\frac{2(2.0)^3}{3} +1.1\\ =6.43 m$

The position of the particle at t =2.0 s is 6.4m

A transformer is to be used to provide power for a computer disk drive that needs 6.0 V (rms) instead of the 120 V (rms) from th

Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

$N_{2}$ =20 turns

Explanation:

The given case is a step down transformer as we need to reduce 120 V to 6 V.

number of turns on primary coil N_{P}= 400

current delivered by secondary coil I_{S}= 500 mA

output voltage = 6 V (rms)

we know that

$I_{p}=\frac{V_{out}}{V_{in}\times I_{s}}$

putting values we get

$I_{p}=\frac{6}{120\times 0.5}$

$I_{p}= 0.1 A$

to calculate number of turns in secondary

$\frac{N_{2}}{400} =\frac{6}{120}$

therefore, $N_{2}$ =20 turns

What is the resultant of the vectors shown?

ad-work [718]

Answer:

Option B

Explanation:

Option A is the wrong answer because the horizontal vector is in the opposite direction.

Option C is the wrong answer as the horizontal vector is in the opposite direction and all the vectors are connected head to tail [of the arrows] [Triangle law of vector addition]

Option D is the wrong answer as the horizontal vector is in the opposite direction.

Can someone explain what streamlining is in a simple way with an example.

Usimov [2.4K]

Imagine a car, and imagine you see little arrows below and beneath it, just around it. The path of a particle that is flowing steadily and without turbulence in a fluid past an object.
