A single, nonconstant force acts in the + x ‑direction on an object of mass M that is constrained to move along the x ‑axis. As

a result, the object's position as a function of time is x ( t ) = P + Q t + R t 3 How much work W is done by this force from t = 0 s to final time T ? Express the answer in terms of P , Q , R , M , and T .

Answer:

3MQRT^2+\frac{9}{2}MR^2T^4

Explanation:

In order to find the work done by the force, we use the work-energy theorem, which states that the work done by a force on an object is equal to the change in kinetic energy of the object. Mathematically:

W=K_f-K_i = \frac{1}{2}mv^2-\frac{1}{2}mu^2 (1)

where

W is the work done

m is the mass of the object

v is the final speed of the object

u is the initial speed

In this problem, we have:

m = M is the mass of the object

The position of the object at time t is

x(t)=P+Qt+Rt^3

We can find its speed at time t by calculating the derivative of the position:

v(t)=x'(t)=Q+3Rt^2

Therefore:

- The speed at time t = 0 is

u=v(0)=Q

- The speed at time t = T is

v=v(T)=Q+3RT^2

Substituting into eq.(1), we find the work done:

W=\frac{1}{2}M(Q+3RT^2)^2-\frac{1}{2}MQ^2=\\=\frac{1}{2}MQ^2+3QRT^2+\frac{9}{2}MR^2T^4-\frac{1}{2}MQ^2=\\=3MQRT^2+\frac{9}{2}MR^2T^4

Explain how the sun's position in the sky affects the length of shadows
Serggg [28]

A shadow forms on the side of an object that faces away from the sun. The length of shadows changes as Earth rotates. In the morning, the sun is low in the eastern sky and shadows are long. As time passes in the morning, the sun seems to move higher in the sky.

A plate drops onto a smooth floor and shatters into three pieces of equal mass.Two of the pieces go off with equal speeds v at r
Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

Speed of the this part is given as

v_3 = \sqrt2 v

Also the direction of the velocity of the third part of plate is moving along 135 degree with respect to one part of the moving plate

Explanation:

As we know by the momentum conservation of the system

we will have

P_1 + P_2 + P_3 = P_i

here we know that

P_1 = P_2

the momentum of two parts are equal in magnitude but perpendicular to each other

so we will have

P_1 + P_2 = \sqrt{P^2 + P^2}

P_1 + P_2 = \sqrt2 mv

now from above equation we have

P_3 = -(P_1 + P_2)

mv_3 = -(\sqrt 2 mv)

v_3 = \sqrt2 v

Also the direction of the velocity of the third part of plate is moving along 135 degree with respect to one part of the moving plate

After watching a show about submarines, Jamil wants to learn more about the oceans. Which question could be answered through sci
Georgia [21]
The best question that could prompt a scientific investigation is: <u>What substances dissolve in ocean water?</u> 

This way the person experimenting can use several variables and make observations. Upon making observations, the person can be able to gather as much data as he can in order to answer the original question that he asked.
