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 sled is dragged along a horizontal path at a constant speed of 1.50 m/s by a rope that is inclined at an angle of 30.0° with r
Allisa [31]

Answer:2987.7 J

Explanation:

Given

sled weight is W=470 N

Tension in rope T=230 N

Time interval t=10 s

velocity of sled v=1.5 m/s

here speed is equal to velocity which is constant therefore acceleration is zero

thus F_{net}=0

Distance traveled in t=10 s

x=v\times t=1.5\times 10=15 m

considering surface to be friction less

thus T\cos 30 will do work on sled

W=F\cdot x

W=T\cos 30\cdot x

W=230\cos 30\times 15

W=2987.78 J\approx 2.987 kJ

A note has a wavelength of 0.77955 m. If the speed of sound is 343.00 m/s, what pitch is this note?
pickupchik [31]
The equation for wave speed is:

v=\lambda * f

where "v" is wave speed, "λ" is wavelength and "f" is frequency.

Given the wave speed is 343m/s and the wavelength is 0.77955m, we can rewrite the equation as:

\frac{v}{\lambda}  = f

Substituting known values, we get:

\frac{343}{0.77955} =f

f=439.9974344

The pitch that's the closest to this value is Pitch A.

A total solar eclipse is a rare event. Although they occur somewhere on earth every 18 months on average, it is estimated that t
Setler79 [48]
Because the tip of the moon's shadow ... the area of "totality" ... is never more than a couple hundred miles across, It never covers a single place for more than 7 minutes, and can never stay on the Earth's surface for more than a few hours altogether during one eclipse.

If you're not inside that small area, you don't see a total eclipse.
