The box stopped moving because there was a negative acceleration in the x direction caused by friction.
To find the average speed, simply divide the displacement by time: 10 / 2 = 5 m/s

Solve the equation 3x^2+8x+5=0

Pachacha [2.7K]

$3x^2+8x+5=0\\
3x^2+3x+5x+5=0\\
3x(x+1)+5(x+1)=0\\
(3x+5)(x+1)=0\\
x=-\dfrac{5}{3} \vee x=-1$

Answer:

$\displaystyle a(0 )=8.133\ m/s^2$

$\displaystyle a(2)=2.05\ m/s^2$

$\displaystyle a(4)=0.52\ m/s^2$

b. $\displaystyle X(t)=11.81(t+1.45\ e^{-0.6887t})-17.15$

c. $t=9.9 \ sec$

Explanation:

Modeling With Functions

Careful measurements have produced a model of one sprinter's velocity at a given t, and it's is given by

$\displaystyle V(t)=a(1-e^{bt})$

For Carl Lewis's run at the 1987 World Championships, the values of a and b are

$\displaystyle a=11.81\ ,\ b=-0.6887$

Please note we changed the value of b to negative to make the model have sense. Thus, the equation for the velocity is

$\displaystyle V(t)=11.81(1-e^{-0.6887t})$

a. What was Lewis's acceleration at t = 0 s, 2.00 s, and 4.00 s?

To compute the accelerations, we must find the function for a as the derivative of v

$\displaystyle a(t)=\frac{dv}{dt}=11.81(0.6887\ e^{0.6887t})$

$\displaystyle a(t)=8.133547\ e^{-0.6887t}$

For t=0

$\displaystyle a(0)=8.133547\ e^o$

$\displaystyle a(0 )=8.133\ m/s^2$

For t=2

$\displaystyle a(2)=8.133547\ e^{-0.6887\times 2}$

$\displaystyle a(2)=2.05\ m/s^2$

$\displaystyle a(4)=8.133547\ e^{-0.6887\times 4}$

$\displaystyle a(4)=0.52\ m/s^2$

b. Find an expression for the distance traveled at time t.

The distance is the integral of the velocity, thus

$\displaystyle X(t)=\int v(t)dt \int 11.81(1-e^{-0.6887t})dt=11.81(t+\frac{e^{-0.6887t}}{0.6887})+C$

$\displaystyle X(t)=11.81(t+1.45201\ e^{-0.6887t})+C$

To find the value of C, we set X(0)=0, the sprinter starts from the origin of coordinates

$\displaystyle x(0)=0=>11.81\times1.45201+C=0$

Solving for C

$\displaystyle c=-17.1482\approx -17.15$

Now we complete the equation for the distance

$\displaystyle X(t)=11.81(t+1.45\ e^{-0.6887t})-17.15$

c. Find the time Lewis needed to sprint 100.0 m.

The equation for the distance cannot be solved by algebraic procedures, but we can use approximations until we find a close value.

We are required to find the time at which the distance is 100 m, thus

$\displaystyle X(t)=100=>11.81(t+1.45\ e^{-0.6887t})-17.15=100$

Rearranging

$\displaystyle t+1.45\ e^{-0.6887t}=9.92$

We define an auxiliary function f(t) to help us find the value of t.

$\displaystyle f(t)=t+1.45\ e^{-0.687t}-9.92$

Let's try for t=9 sec

$\displaystyle f(9)=9+1.45\ e^{-0.687\times 9}-9.92=-0.92$

Now with t=9.9 sec

$\displaystyle f(9.9)=9.9+1.45\ e^{-0.687\times 9.9}-9.92=-0.0184$

That was a real close guess. One more to be sure for t=10 sec

$\displaystyle f(10)=10+1.45\ e^{-0.687\times 10}-9.92=0.081$

The change of sign tells us we are close enough to the solution. We choose the time that produces a smaller magnitude for f(t).

$At t\approx 9.9\ sec, \text{ Lewis sprinted 100 m}$

Which of the following statements is false?

vladimir1956 [14]

An excited atom can return to its ground state by absorbing electromagnetic radiation is false about the electromagnetic radiation.

Option B

<u>Explanation</u>:

In the scope of modern quantum theory, the term Electromagnetic radiation is identified as the movement of photons through space. Almost all the sources of energy that we utilize today such as coal, oil, etc are a product of electromagnetic radiation which was absorbed from the sun millions of years ago.

Various properties of electromagnetic radiations are a directly proportional relationship between the energy and the frequency, Inverse proportionality between frequency and the wavelength, etc. Hence, we can conclude that an "excited atom" can never return to its ground state by assimilating electromagnetic radiation and the 2nd statement is false.
