A bird flies in the xy-plane with a velocity vector givenby v = (α-βt2)i + γtj with α=2.4m/s,β=1.6m/s3 and γ=4m/s2 . Thepositive

y-direction is vertically upward. At t=0 the birdis at the origin.
1. Calculate the position vector of the bird as a function oftime.
2. Calculate the acceleration vector of the bird as a function oftime.
3. What is the bird's altitude (y-coordinate) as it fliesover x=0 for the first time after t=0.

Answer:

1. r(t) = (\alpha t - \frac{\beta t^3}{3})\^i + (\frac{\gamma t^2}{2})\^j

2. a(t) = \frac{dv(t)}{dt} = -2\beta t \^i + \gamma \^j

3. r(t=2.12) = (6~{\rm m})\^j

Explanation:

The velocity vector is

v(t) = (\alpha - \beta t^2)\^i + (\gamma t)\^j

1. The position vector can be found by integrating the velocity vector.

r(t) = \int v(t) dt = (\alpha t - \frac{\beta t^3}{3} + C_1)\^i + (\frac{\gamma t^2}{2} + C_2)\^j

At t = 0, the bird is at the origin, so the integration constants can be determined.

r(0) = C_1 \^i + C_2 \^y = 0

Therefore, C1 and C2 are equal to zero.

r(t) = (\alpha t - \frac{\beta t^3}{3})\^i + (\frac{\gamma t^2}{2})\^j

2. The acceleration vector is the derivative of the velocity vector with respect to time.

a(t) = \frac{dv(t)}{dt} = -2\beta t \^i + \gamma \^j

3. We will first find the time when the x-component of the position vector is equal to zero.

\alpha t - \frac{\beta t^3}{3} = 0\\\alpha = \frac{\beta t^2}{3}\\t = \sqrt{\frac{3\alpha}{\beta}} = 2.12~s

We will plug in this value into the y-component of the position vector.

y(t) = \frac{\gamma t^2}{2}\\y(2.12) = \frac{4(2.12)^2}{2} = 9~m

A football is thrown vertically with an initial velocity of 33m/s. Calculate the velocity of the ball when it’s height increased
tatyana61 [14]

The final velocity becomes 31.48 m/s

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given:

Initial velocity, u = 33 m/s

Height, h = 5m

Final velocity, v = ?

According to Newton's law:

v² - u² = 2gh

where,

g is the acceleration due to gravity and

g = 9.8 m/s²

On substituting the values we get:

v^2 - (33)^2 = 2 X -9.8 X 5\\\\v^2 - 1089 = -98\\\\v^2 = 991\\\\v = 31.48 m/s

Therefore, the final velocity becomes 31.48 m/s

What is an intraplate quake? What causes them?
Anastasy [175]
 intraplate earthquake<span> occurs in the interior of a </span>tectonic plate, basically its a lower version of an earth quake but just less damage. The cause of them is the two tectonic plate hitting each other or i should say sliding togather.

Dierdre drew a diagram to compare the three types of mirrors.
Sholpan [36]

<em>Labels that belong in the marked ares X, Y & Z include;</em>

X: Curves outward

Y: Image may be smaller than object

Z: Image is always virtual

<u>Since the rays never meet, the images formed by convex mirrors are always virtual and smaller than the object, and since they are smaller, the images appear to be further than they actually are.</u>

A force of 30 N stretches a very light ideal spring 0.73 m from equilibrium. What is the force constant (spring constant) of the
pantera1 [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

F = k*n

F = 30N

k = ???

N = 0.73 M

F = k* N

30N = k * 0.73

k = 30N / 0.73

k = 41.1
