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

Paraphin [41]

The formula for momentum is p = m*v

The conservation of momentum suggests:

m*vi = m*vf (initial mass times initial velocity = final mass times final velocity or initial momentum = final momentum)

(0.0010)(52.2) = (0.0010 + 3.3)vf

vf = (0.0010)(52.2)/(0.0010 + 3.3) = 0.0522/3.301 ≈ 0.01581 m/s

The eyes of many older people have lost the ability to accommodate, and so an older person’s near point may be more than 25 cm f
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

Smaller refractive power

Explanation:

The refractive power of an eye is the extent to which it can converge or diverge the light rays.

Near point is the the closest point for an eye such that when an object is placed at that point the image it forms is sharp and clearly visible to the eye.

A the person ages, the ciliary muscles of the eyes weakens and as a result the lens contracts and the formation of the image takes place behind the retina instead of forming at the retina.

Thus the near point also increases and the refractive power becomes smaller.

A rocket passes you at a speed of 0.85c, and you measure its length to be 35.0 m. What is its measured length when at rest?
viktelen [127]

Answer:

66.4 m

Explanation:

To solve the problem, we can use the length contraction formula, which states that the length observed in the reference frame moving with the object (the rocket) is given by

L=L_0 \sqrt{1-(\frac{v}{c})^2}

where

L_0 is the proper length (the length measured from an observer at rest)

v is the speed of the object (the rocket)

c is the speed of light

Here we know

v = 0.85c

L = 35.0 m

So we can re-arrange the equation to find the length of the rocket at rest:

L_0 = \frac{L}{\sqrt{1-(\frac{v}{c})^2}}=\frac{35.0}{\sqrt{1-(\frac{0.85c}{c})^2}}=66.4 m
