Answer:

a)  Δx = 49.23 mi , b)  Δx = 5.77 mi

Explanation:

As we have an acceleration function we must use the definition of kinematics

     a = dv / dt

     ∫dv = ∫ a dt

we integrate and evaluators

      v - vo = ∫ (-1280 (1 + 8t)⁻³ dt = -1280 ∫ (1+ 8t)⁻³ dt

We change variables

       1+ 8t = u

       8 dt = du

       v - v₀ = -1280 ∫ u⁻³ du / 8

       v -v₀ = -1280 / 8 (-u⁻²/2)

       v - v₀ = 80 (1+ 8t)⁻²

We evaluate between the initial t = 0 v₀ = 80 and the final instant t and v

      v- 80 = 80 [(1 + 8t)⁻² - 1]

      v = 80 (1+ 8t)⁻²

We repeat the process for defining speed is

     v = dx / dt

    dx = vdt

    x-x₀ = 80 ∫ (1-8t)⁻² dt

    x-x₀ = 80 ∫ u⁻² dt / 8

    x-x₀ = 80 (-1 / u)

    x-x₀ = -80 (1 / (1 + 8t))

We evaluate for t = 0 and x₀ and the upper point t and x

   x -x₀ = -80 [1 / (1 + 8t) - 1]

We already have the function of time displacement

a) let's calculate the position at the two points and be

t = 0 h

     x = x₀

t = 0.2 h

    x-x₀ = -80 [1 / (1 +8 02) -1]

    x-x₀ = 49.23

displacement is

  Δx = x (0.2) - x (0)

   Δx = 49.23 mi

b) in the interval t = 0.2 h at t = 0.4 h

t = 0.4h

     x- x₀ = -80 [1 / (1+ 8 0.4) -1]

     x-x₀ = 55 mi

    Δx = x (0.4) - x (0.2)

     Δx = 55 - 49.23

     Δx = 5.77 mi

A wheel has a radius of 5.9 m. How far (path length) does a point on the circumference travel if the wheel is rotated through an
posledela

Answer:

(a). The path length is 3.09 m at 30°.

(b). The path length is 188.4 m at 30 rad.

(c). The path length is 1111.5 m at 30 rev.

Explanation:

Given that,

Radius = 5.9 m

(a). Angle \theta=30°

We need to calculate the angle in radian

\theta=30\times\dfrac{\pi}{180}

\theta=0.523\ rad

We need to calculate the path length

Using formula of path length

Path\ length =angle\times radius

Path\ length=0.523\times5.9

Path\ length =3.09\ m

(b). Angle = 30 rad

We need to calculate the path length

Path\ length=30\times5.9

Path\ length=177\ m

(c). Angle = 30 rev

We need to calculate the angle in rad

\theta=30\times2\pi

\theta=188.4\ rad

We need to calculate the path length

Path\ length=188.4\times5.9

Path\ length =1111.56\ m

Hence, (a). The path length is 3.09 m at 30°.

(b). The path length is 188.4 m at 30 rad.

(c). The path length is 1111.5 m at 30 rev.

How fast must an object move before its length appears to be contracted to one-fourth its proper length? (Give your answer in te
Tresset [83]

Answer:

<em>0.97c</em>

<em></em>

Explanation:

From the relativistic equation for length contraction, we have

l = l_{0}\sqrt{1 - \beta }

where

l is the final length of the object

l_{0} is the original length of the object before contraction

β = v^{2} /c^2

where v is the speed of the object

c is the speed of light in free space = 3 x 10^8 m/s

The equation can be re-written as

l/l_{0} = \sqrt{1 - \beta }

For the length to contract to one-fourth of the proper length, then

l/l_{0} = 1/4

substituting into the equation, we'll have

1/4 = \sqrt{1 - \beta }

substituting for β, we'll have

1/4 = \sqrt{1 - v^2/c^2 }

squaring both side of the equation, we'll have

1/16 = 1 - v^2/c^2

v^2/c^2 = 1 - 1/16

v^2/c^2 = 15/16

square root both sides of the equation, we have

v/c = 0.968

v = <em>0.97c</em>
