Consider a particle moving along the x-axis where x(t) is the position of the particle at time t, x'(t) is its velocity, and x''

(t) is its acceleration. A particle moves along the x-axis at a velocity of v(t) = 5/√t, t > 0. At time t = 1, its position is x = 12. Find the acceleration and position functions for the particle.

Answer:

We know that the acceleration of the particle is defined as

a(t)=\frac{dv}{dt}

Since it is given that

v(t)=\frac{5}{\sqrt{t}}\\\\\therefore a(t)=\frac{d(\frac{5}{\sqrt{t}})}{dt}\\\\a(t)=5\times \frac{dt^{-\frac{1}{2}}}{dt}\\\\=\frac{-5}{2}t^{\frac{-1}{2}-1}\\\\\therefore a(t)=x''(t)=\frac{-2.5}{t^{\frac{3}{2}}}

Now by definition of velocity we have

v(t)=\frac{dx(t)}{dt}\\\\\Rightarrow dx(t)=v(t)dt

Integrating on both sides we get

v(t)=\frac{dx(t)}{dt}\\\\\int dx(t)=\int v(t)dt\\\\x(t)=\int v(t)dt

Applying values we get

v(t)=\frac{dx(t)}{dt}\\\\\int dx(t)=\int v(t)dt\\\\x(t)=\int \frac{5}{t^{\frac{1}{2}}}dt\\\\\therefore x(t)=\frac{5}{0.5}\int t^{-0.5}dt\\\\x(t)=10\sqrt{t}+c

To find the constant we note that at t=1 the particle is at x=12 Thus applying values in the above equation we get

c=12-10\\\therefore c=2\\\\x(t)=10\sqrt{t}+2

A -0.06 charge that moves downward is in a uniform electric field with a strengthened of 200 N/C. What is the magnitude and dire
Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:

The magnitude of the force is 12 N Upwards

Explanation:

The force on a positive charge will be in the same direction as the field, but the force on a negative charge will be in the opposite direction to the field. Thus the direction of the force is upward.

Given;

magnitude of charge, q = 0.06 C

magnitude of electric field, E = 200 N/C

The magnitude of the force is given by;

F = qE

F = 0.06 x 200 N/C

F = 12 N Upwards

Therefore, the magnitude of the force is 12 N Upwards

If the volume of a sample of gas is reduced at constant temperature, the average velocity of the molecules _______, the average
VLD [36.1K]

Answer:

Explanation:

If the volume of a sample of gas is reduced at constant temperature, the average velocity of the molecules increases, the average force of an individual collision increases, and the average number of collisions with the wall, per unit area, per second increases.

As volume is reduced, the gas molecules come closer together, which increases the number of collisions between them and their collisions with the container walls. Also, since the distance traveled by each molecule between successive collision decreases, the molecule velocity doesn't decrease much within collisions as a result of which, the average velocity is higher compared to when the gas is stored in a larger volume. Finally, due to constant collisions, the direction of molecule travel changes rapidly owing to which the acceleration of molecules increases.
