A particle moves according to a law of motion s = f(t), t ≥ 0, where t is measured in seconds and s in feet. (If an answer does

not exist, enter DNE.)
f(t) = t^3 − 8t^2 + 28t

a. Find the velocity at time t.
b. What is the velocity after 1 second?
c. When is the particle at rest?
d. When is the particle moving in the positive direction?

Answer:

a)v = 3 t² - 16 t + 28 , b)    v = 15 ft / s ,  c) the speed is never zero ,  

d) the particle always moves in the positive direction , e)  s = 96 ft

Explanation:

a) For this exercise how should we use the definition of speed

            v = ds / dt

let's make the derivative

           v = 3 t² - 16 t + 28

b) we calculate with t = 1 s

          v = 3 1² - 16 1 +28

         v = 15 ft / s

c) the particle is at rest when the velocity is zero

         0 = 3 t² - 16 t + 28

         3t² - 16t + 28 = 0

we solve the quadratic equation

       t = [16 ±√ (16² - 4 3 28)] / (2 3)

       t = [5.33 ±√ (256 - 336)] / 6

the square root of a negative number is not defined by which the speed is never zero

d) the particle moves in the positive directional when y> 0, therefore

            d (t)> 0

            t³ - 8 t² + 28 t> 0

            t (t² - 8t + 28)> 0

the expression is true for

          t> 0

          t² - 8t +28> 0

we solve the quadratic equation

         t = [8 ±√ (8² - 4 28)] / 2

         t = [8 ±√ (64 -112)] / 2

the square root of a negative number is not defined, therefore the expression never becomes zero, it is always positive

In short the particle always moves in the positive direction

e) we calculate the distance even t = 6 s

           s = 6³ - 8 6² +28 6

           s = 96 ft

When an electric current flows through a long conductor, each free electron moves
nirvana33 [79]
<span>When an electric current flows through a long conductor, each free electron moves from one end of the other end. When an electric field is applied to a conductor (a wire) the free electrons of the conductor are subject to an electric force which will cause the electrons to move. Given that the electrons are negatively charged they will move counter-wise the field.. Each end of the wire is attached to one pole or end of a battery (or generator of electricity) then the electrons will move form the end joined to the negative pole toward the end attached to positive pole.</span><span />

What are two ways air resistance can be increased?
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]
The increase in speed leads to an increase in the amount of air resistance. Eventually, the force of air resistance becomes large enough to balances the force of gravity. At this instant in time, the net force is 0 Newton; the object will stop accelerating. The object is said to have reached a terminal velocity.

A child on a high dive has a mass of 40 kilograms. If the high dive is 10 meters in the air, what is the potential energy? GPE=m
saw5 [17]

Answer:

Ep = 3924 [J]

Explanation:

To calculate this value we must use the definition of potential energy which tells us that it is the product of mass by the acceleration of gravity by height.

E_{p}=m*g*h\\

where:

Ep = potential energy [J] (units of Joules)

m = mass = 40 [kg]

g = gravity acceleration = 9.81 [m/s²]

h = elevation = 10 [m]

E_{p} =40*9.81*10\\E_{p} = 3924 [J]
