A man starts walking north at 3 ft/s from a point P. Five minutes later a woman starts walking south at 4 ft/s from a point 500

mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

ds/dt = 6.98 ft/s

Explanation:

Given:

- The speed of man due north Vm = 3 ft/s

- The speed of woman due south Vw = 4 ft/s

- Woman starts walking 5 mins later than man

Find:

At what rate are the people moving apart 15 min after the woman starts walking?

Solution:

- The total time for which the man is walking due north from P, is Tm:

Tm = 5 + 15 = 20 mins

- The total distance traveled by man in Tm mins is:

Dm = Tm*Vm

Dm = 20*60*3

Dm = 3,600 ft

- The total time for which the woman is walking due south from 500 ft due east from P, is Tw:

Tw = 15 = 15 mins

- The total distance traveled by man in Tw mins is:

Dw = Tw*Vw

Dw = 15*60*4

Dw = 3,600 ft

- The displacement between man and woman at any instance is (s) which can be related by pythagoras theorem as follows:

s^2 = (dm + dw)^2 + 500^2

Where, dm : Distance travelled by man at any time Tm

dw : Distance travelled by woman at any time Tw

- Differentiate s with respect to t:

2s*ds/dt = 2*(dm + dw)*(Vm + Vw)

s*ds/dt = (dm + dw)*(Vm + Vw)

ds/dt = [ (dm + dw)*(Vm + Vw) ] / s

- Evaluate the rate of separation of man and woman ds/dt by evaluating at instance Tm = 20 mins and Tw = 15 mins. We have:

ds/dt = [ (Dm + Dw)*(Vm + Vw) ] / sqrt ( (Dm + Dw)^2 + 500^2 )

- Plug in the values:

ds/dt = [ (3600 + 3600)*(3 + 4) ] / [sqrt ( (3600 + 3600)^2 + 500^2 )]

ds/dt = 6.98 ft/s

A particle with a mass of 0.500 kg is attached to a horizontal spring with a force constant of 50.0 N/m. At the moment t = 0, th

svp [43]

a) $x(t)=2.0 sin (10 t) [m]$

The equation which gives the position of a simple harmonic oscillator is:

$x(t)= A sin (\omega t)$

where

A is the amplitude

$\omega=\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}$ is the angular frequency, with k being the spring constant and m the mass

t is the time

Let's start by calculating the angular frequency:

$\omega=\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}=\sqrt{\frac{50.0 N/m}{0.500 kg}}=10 rad/s$

The amplitude, A, can be found from the maximum velocity of the spring:

$v_{max}=\omega A\\A=\frac{v_{max}}{\omega}=\frac{20.0 m/s}{10 rad/s}=2 m$

So, the equation of motion is

$x(t)= 2.0 sin (10 t) [m]$

b) t=0.10 s, t=0.52 s

The potential energy is given by:

$U(x)=\frac{1}{2}kx^2$

While the kinetic energy is given by:

$K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

The velocity as a function of time t is:

$v(t)=v_{max} cos(\omega t)$

The problem asks as the time t at which U=3K, so we have:

$\frac{1}{2}kx^2 = \frac{3}{2}mv^2\\kx^2 = 3mv^2\\k (A sin (\omega t))^2 = 3m (\omega A cos(\omega t))^2\\(tan(\omega t))^2=\frac{3m\omega^2}{k}$

However, $\frac{m}{k}=\frac{1}{\omega^2}$ , so we have

$(tan(\omega t))^2=\frac{3\omega^2}{\omega^2}=3\\tan(\omega t)=\pm \sqrt{3}\\$

with two solutions:

$\omega t= \frac{\pi}{3}\\t=\frac{\pi}{3\omega}=\frac{\pi}{3(10 rad/s)}=0.10 s$

$\omega t= \frac{5\pi}{3}\\t=\frac{5\pi}{3\omega}=\frac{5\pi}{3(10 rad/s)}=0.52 s$

c) 3 seconds.

When x=0, the equation of motion is:

$0=A sin (\omega t)$

so, t=0.

When x=1.00 m, the equation of motion is:

$1=A sin(\omega t)\\sin(\omega t)=\frac{1}{A}=\frac{1}{2}\\\omega t= 30\\t=\frac{30}{\omega}=\frac{30}{10 rad/s}=3 s$

So, the time needed is 3 seconds.

d) 0.097 m

The period of the oscillator in this problem is:

$T=\frac{2\pi}{\omega}=\frac{2\pi}{10 rad/s}=0.628 s$

The period of a pendulum is:

$T=2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g}}$

where L is the length of the pendulum. By using T=0.628 s, we find

$L=\frac{T^2g}{(2\pi)^2}=\frac{(0.628 s)^2(9.8 m/s^2)}{(2\pi)^2}=0.097 m$

mojhsa [17]

I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option A. The correct arrangement of the substances according to the <span>most to the least ordered particle arrangement should be wood, water and neon gas. Wood should be the first since it is solid which has the most ordered structure as compared to the liquid and a gas. The neon gas is the last since as a gas it has the least ordered structure.</span>
