A particle moves in a straight line and has acceleration given by a(t) = 12t + 10. Its initial velocity is v(0) = −5 cm/s and it
soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

The position function is s_{t}=2t^3+5t^2-5t+9.

Explanation:

Given that,

Acceleration a =12t+10

Initial velocity v_{0} = -5\ cm/s

Initial displacement s_{0}=9\ cm

We know that,

The acceleration is the rate of change of velocity of the particle.

a = \dfrac{dv}{dt}

The velocity is the rate of change of position of the particle

v=\dfrac{dx}{dt}

We need to calculate the the position

The acceleration is

a_{t} = 12t+10

\dfrac{dv}{dt} = 12t+10

a_{t}=dv=(12t+10)dt

On integration both side

\int{dv}=\int{(12t+10)}dt

v_{t}=6t^2+10t+C

At t = 0

v_{0}=0+0+C

C=-5

Now, On integration again both side

v_{t}=\int{ds_{t}}=\int{(6t^2+10t-5)}dt

s_{t}=2t^{3}+5t^2-5t+C

At t = 0

s_{0}=0+0+0+C

C=9

s_{t}=2t^3+5t^2-5t+9

Hence, The position function is s_{t}=2t^3+5t^2-5t+9.

What is the momentum of a 4 kg object moving west at 4 m/s?*
Grace [21]

Answer:

16kg*m/s west

Explanation:

P=M*V

Momentum= Mass time velocity, plug it into the formula,

M is 4 and V is 4, 4*4=16, and since the object is moving west its going to be west.

basically saying in simpler terms,

16=4*4

While walking between gates at an airport, you notice a child running along a moving walkway. Estimating that the child runs at
Mashcka [7]

Answer:

The speed of the moving walkway is 1.50 m/s

Explanation:

The position of the child can be calculated using the following equation:

x = x0 + v · t

Where :

x = position of the child at time t.

v = velocity of the child.

t = time.

When the child runs in the same direction as the walkway, the velocity of the child will be its  velocity relative to the walkway plus the velocity of the walkway. Then, if we place the origin of the frame of reference at the start of the walkway:

x = x0 + v · t

25 m = 0 m + (2.8 m/s + v) · t₁

Where v is the velocity of the walkway

On its way back, the velocity of the child relative to the walkway is in the opposite direction to the velocity of the walkway. Then:

x = x0 + v · t

0 m = 25 m + (-2.8 m/s + v) · t₂

We also know that t₁ + t₂ = 25 s

Then: t₁ = 25 - t₂

So, we can write the following system of equations:

25 m = (2.8 m/s + v) · (25 s - t₂)

-25 m = (-2.8 m/s + v) · t₂

Let´s take the second equation and solve it for t₂

-25 m / (-2.8 m/s + v) = t₂

Now, let´s replace t₂ in the first equation:

25 m = (2.8 m/s + v) · (25 s + 25 m / (-2.8 m/s + v))

Let´s sum the fraction: 25 s + 25 m / (-2.8 m/s + v)

25 m = (2.8 m/s + v) · (25 s ·(-2.8 m/s + v) + 25 m) / (-2.8 m/s + v)

multiply by (-2.8 m/s + v) both sides of the equation:

25 m(-2.8 m/s + v) = (2.8 m/s + v) · (-70 m + 25 s · v + 25 m)

Apply distributive property:

-70 m²/s +25 m·v = -196 m²/s +70 m·v +70 m²/s -70 m·v +25 s ·v² + 25 m v

56 m²/s = 25 s · v²

56 m²/s / 25 s = v²

v = 1.50 m/s

The speed of the moving walkway is 1.50 m/s

A pulley has a mechanical advantage of 1.
sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

There is no mechanical advantage

Explanation:

The mechanical advantage is possible only when the force needed to lift a load is lesser than the weight of the load.

For example, is we have a mechanical advantage of 2, the force needed to lift will be 1/2 of the weight of the load, and if we have a mechanical advantage of 4, the force needed will be 1/4 of the weight of the load.

In the attached image there are clear examples of mechanical advantage with pulleys.
