A 12,500 N alien UFO is hovering about the surface of Earth. At time , its position can be given as () = ((0.24 m/s^3)^3 + 25 m)

i^ ((4.2 m/s))j^+ (−(0.43 m/s^3)^3 + (0.8 m/s^2)^2)k^. What is the net force acting on the UFO at time = 2 s? Express your answer in vector format. What is its magnitude?

a) F=(3675i-4543k)N

b) 5843 N

Explanation:

a)

The position of the UFO at time t is given by the vector:

r(t)=(0.24t^3+25)i+(4.2t)j+(-0.43t^3+0.8t^2)k

Therefore it has 3 components:

r_x=0.24t^3+25\\r_y=4.2t\\r_z=-0.43t^3+0.8t^2

We start by finding the velocity of the UFO, which is given by the derivative of the position:

v_x=r'_x=\frac{d}{dt}(0.24t^3+25)=3\cdot 0.24t^2=0.72t^2\\v_y=r'_y=\frac{d}{dt}(4.2t)=4.2\\v_x=r'_z=\frac{d}{dt}(-0.43t^3+0.8t^2)=-1.29t^2+1.6t

And then, by differentiating again, we find the acceleration:

a_x=v'_x=\frac{d}{dt}(0.72t^2)=1.44t\\a_y=v'_y=\frac{d}{dt}(4.2)=0\\a_z=v'_z=\frac{d}{dt}(-1.29t^2+1.6t)=-2.58t+1.6

The weight of the UFO is W = 12,500 N, so its mass is:

m=\frac{W}{g}=\frac{12500}{9.8}=1276 kg

Therefore, the components of the force on the UFO are given by Newton's second law:

F=ma

So, Substituting t = 2 s, we find:

F_x=ma_x=(1276)(1.44t)=(1276)(1.44)(2)=3675 N\\F_y=ma_y=0\\F_z=ma_z=(1276)(-2.58t+1.6)=(1276)(-2.58(2)+1.6)=-4543 N

So the net force on the UFO at t = 2 s is

F=(3675i-4543k)N

b)

The magnitude of a 3-dimensional vector is given by

|v|=\sqrt{v_x^2+v_y^2+v_z^2}

where

v_x,v_y,v_z are the three components of the vector

In this problem, the three components of the net force are:

F_x=3675 N\\F_y=0\\F_z=-4543 N

Therefore, substituting into the equation, we find the magnitude of the net force:

|F|=\sqrt{3675^2+0^2+(-4543)^2}=5843 N
