Answer:

v = -6m/s

Explanation:

$x=4-12t+3t^2$

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

For t = 1:

$\frac{dx}{dt}=-6$

Two objects must be in contact for them to exert a force on each other. True or False

nevsk [136]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

This proposition is false because by example the sun exerts a force over the earth and them are not in contact

Two blocks are the same size one block has a higher temperature than the other. Which describes the thermal energy of these bloc

shepuryov [24]

The block that has a higher temperature describes the thermal energy of these blocks. Thermal energy is a measure of internal energy - therefore, the block with the higher temperature has more internal energy than the block with the lower temperature, meaning it's thermal energy is greater.

Suppose you first walk 12.0 m in a direction 20? west of north and then 20.0 m in a direction 40.0? south of west. how far are y

Gnesinka [82]

The representation of this problem is shown in Figure 1. So our goal is to find the vector $\overrightarrow{R}$ . From the figure we know that:

$\left | \overrightarrow{A} \right |=12m \\ \\ \left | \overrightarrow{B} \right |=20m \\ \\ \theta_{A}=20^{\circ} \\ \\ \theta_{B}=40^{\circ}$

From geometry, we know that:

$\overrightarrow{R}=\overrightarrow{A}+\overrightarrow{B}$

Then using vector decomposition into components:

$For \ A: \\ \\ A_x=-\left | \overrightarrow{A} \right |sin\theta_A=-12sin(20^{\circ})=-4.10 \\ \\ A_y=\left | \overrightarrow{A} \right |cos\theta_A=12cos(20^{\circ})=11.27 \\ \\ \\ For \ B: \\ \\ B_x=-\left | \overrightarrow{B} \right |cos\theta_B=-20cos(40^{\circ})=-15.32 \\ \\ B_y=-\left | \overrightarrow{B} \right |sin\theta_B=-20sin(40^{\circ})=-12.85$

Therefore:

$R_x=A_x+B_x=-4.10-15.32=-19.42m \\ \\ R_y=A_y+B_y=11.27-12.85=-1.58m$

So if you want to find out how far are you from your starting point you need to know the magnitude of the vector $\overrightarrow{R}$ , that is:

$\left | \overrightarrow{R} \right |=
\sqrt{R_x^2+R_y^2}=\sqrt{(-19.42)^2+(-1.58)^2}=\boxed{19.48m}$

Finally, let's find the compass direction of a line connecting your starting point to your final position. What we are looking for here is an angle that is shown in Figure 2 which is an angle defined with respect to the positive x-axis. Therefore:

 $\theta_R=180^{\circ}+tan^{-1}(\frac{\left | R_y \right |}{\left | R_x \right |}) \\ \\ \theta_R=180^{\circ}+tan^{-1}(\frac{1.58}{19.42}) \\ \\ \theta_R=180^{\circ}+4.65^{\circ}=185.85^{\circ}$
