Answer:
a) V_f = 25.514 m/s
b) Q =53.46 degrees CCW from + x-axis
Explanation:
Given:
- Initial speed V_i = 20.5 j m/s
- Acceleration a = 0.31 i m/s^2
- Time duration for acceleration t = 49.0 s
Find:
(a) What is the magnitude of the satellite's velocity when the thruster turns off?
(b) What is the direction of the satellite's velocity when the thruster turns off? Give your answer as an angle measured counterclockwise from the +x-axis.
Solution:
- We can apply the kinematic equation of motion for our problem assuming a constant acceleration as given:
V_f = V_i + a*t
V_f = 20.5 j + 0.31 i *49
V_f = 20.5 j + 15.19 i
- The magnitude of the velocity vector is given by:
V_f = sqrt ( 20.5^2 + 15.19^2)
V_f = sqrt(650.9861)
V_f = 25.514 m/s
- The direction of the velocity vector can be computed by using x and y components of velocity found above:
tan(Q) = (V_y / V_x)
Q = arctan (20.5 / 15.19)
Q =53.46 degrees
- The velocity vector is at angle @ 53.46 degrees CCW from the positive x-axis.
The period of the pendulum is 8.2 s
Explanation:
The period of a simple pendulum is given by the equation:
where
L is the length of the pendulum
g is the acceleration of gravity
T is the period
We notice that the period of a pendulum does not depend at all on its mass, but only on its length.
For the pendulum in this problem, we have
L = 16.8 m
and
(acceleration of gravity)
Therefore the period of this pendulum is
