Answer:

a) v=-6m/s

b) negative direction

c) 6m/s

d) decreasing

e) for t=2s

f) Yes

Explanation:

The particle position is given by:

x=4-12t+3t^2

a) the velocity of the particle is given by the derivative of x in time:

v=\frac{dx}{dt}=-12+6t

and for t=1s you have:

v=\frac{dx}{dt}=-12+6(1)^2=-6\frac{m}{s}

b) for t=1s you can notice that the particle is moving in the negative x direction.

c) The speed can be computed by using the formula:

|v|=\sqrt{(-12+6t)^2}=\sqrt{(-12+6)^2}=6\frac{m}{s}

d) Due to the negative value of the velocity in a) you can conclude that the speed is decreasing.

e) There is a time in which the velocity is zero. You can conclude that because if t=2 in the formula for v in a), v=0

v=0=-12+6(t)\\\\t=\frac{12}{6}=2

f) after t=3s the particle will move in the negative direction, this because it is clear that 4+3t^2 does not exceed -12t.

Answer:

a)  v (1)  = -6 m/s

b) negative x-direction

c) s ( 1 ) = 6 m/s

d) The speed decreases at t increases from 0 to 2 seconds.

e) At t = 2 s, the velocity is 0

f) No

Explanation:

Given:-

- The position function of the particle:

                     x (t) = 4 - 12t + 3t^2

Find:-

what is its velocity at t = 1 s? (b) Is it moving in the positive or negative direction of x just then? (c) What is its speed just then? (d) Is the speed increasing or decreasing just then? (Try answering the next two questions without further calculation.) (e) Is there ever an instant when the velocity is zero? If so, give the time t; if not, answer no. (f) Is there a time after t = 3 s when the particle is moving in the negative direction of x? If so, give the time t; if not, answer no.

Solution:-

- The velocity function of the particle v(t) can be determined from the following definition:

                              v (t) = d x(t) / dt

                              v (t) = -12 + 6t

- Evaluate the velocity at time t = 1 s:

                              v (1) = -12 + 6(1)

                              v (1)  = -6 m/s

- The negative sign of the velocity at time t = 1s shows that the particle is moving in the negative x-direction.

- The speed ( s ( t )is the absolute value of velocity at time t = 1s:

                            s ( t ) = abs ( v ( t ) )

                            s ( 1 ) = abs ( v ( 1 ) )  

                            s ( 1 ) = abs ( -6 )

                            s ( 1 ) = 6 m/s

- The speed of the particle at time t = 0,

                            s ( t ) = abs ( -12 + 6t )

                            s ( 0 ) = abs (-12 + 6 (0) )  

                            s ( 0 ) = abs ( -12 )

                            s ( 0 ) = 12 m/s

- The speed of the particle at time t = 2,

                            s ( t ) = abs ( -12 + 6t )

                            s ( 2 ) = abs (-12 + 6 (2) )  

                            s ( 2 ) = abs (  0 )

                            s ( 2 ) = 0 m/s

- Hence, the speed of the particle decreases from s ( 0 ) = 12 m/s to s ( 2 ) = 0 m/s in the time interval t = 0 to t = 2 s.

- As the speed decreases as time increases over the interval t = 0 , t = 2 s the velocity v(t) also approaches 0, at time t = 2 s. s ( 2 ) = 0 m/s.

- We will develop an inequality when v (t) is positive:

                            v (t) = -12 + 6t > 0

                            6t > 12

                            t > 2

- So for all values of t > 2 the velocity of the particle is always positive.

A metal ring 4.20 cm in diameter is placed between the north and south poles of large magnets with the plane of its area perpend
andrezito [222]

Answer:

Explanation:

We have a metal ring of diameter

d = 4.2cm = 0.042m

r = d/2 = 0.021m

And it is place between the north pole and south pole of a large magnet with the plane of it's area perpendicular to the magnetic field.

Given that the magnetic field is

B = 1.12 T

The rate of decrease of magnetic field is 0.2T/s, since it is decrease then,

dB/dt = -0.2 T/s

The induce electric field is given as,

From faradays law

ε = ∫E•dl = -dΦ/dt

Magnetic flux is given as

Φ = BA

Φ = πr²×B = πr²B

Also, ∫E•dl = E×2πr = 2πrE

So,

∫E•dl = -dΦ/dt

2πrE = -d(πr²B) / dt

r is a constant, then

2πrE = -πr² dB/dt

Divide both side by πr

2E = -r dB/dt

E = -r dB/dt / 2

E = -0.021 × -0.2 / 2

E = 0.0021 V/m

The magnetic field point from north to south pole and it is decreasing and this means that the magnetic flux is also decreasing, so the induce magnetic field must point in the same direction of the original magnetic field, so the induce current circulate counter-clockwise as viewed from the south pole

A whale swims due east for a distance of 6.9 km, turns around and goes due west for 1.8 km, and finally turns around again and h
xeze [42]

The question is incomplete. Here is the complete question:

A whale swims due east for a  distance of 6.9 km, turns around and  goes due west for 1.8 km and finally  turns around again and heads 3.7 km  due east.  (a) What is the total distance  traveled by the whale? (b) What are the  magnitude and direction of the displacement of the whale?

Answer:

(a) Distance = 12.4 km

(b) Displacement = 8.8 km due east

Explanation:

Consider east direction as positive and west direction as negative.

Given:

The motion is along the east-west line.

The whale first swims 6.9 km due east, then 1.8 km due west and again 3.7 km due east.

(a)

Distance traveled by the whale is equal to the sum of the lengths of all the distances traveled. Therefore,

Distance traveled = 6.9 km + 1.8 km + 3.7 km = 12.4 km

Therefore, the distance traveled by the whale is 12.4 km.

(b)

Displacement of the whale is given by considering the sign of each of the individual displacements. Therefore,

Displacement of the whale = (+6.9 km) + (-1.8 km) + (+3.7 km)

Displacement of the whale = 6.9 km - 1.8 km + 3.7 km = 8.8 km

The answer is positive. So, the direction is due east.

Therefore, the displacement of the whale is <u>8.8 km due east.</u>
