Question:
A particle moving along the x-axis has a position given by x=(24t - 2.0t³)m, where t is measured in s. What is the magnitude of the acceleration of the particle at the instant when its velocity is zero
Answer:
24 m/s
Explanation:
Given:
x=(24t - 2.0t³)m
First find velocity function v(t):
v(t) = ẋ(t) = 24 - 2*3t²
v(t) = ẋ(t) = 24 - 6t²
Find the acceleration function a(t):
a(t) = Ẍ(t) = V(t) = -6*2t
a(t) = Ẍ(t) = V(t) = -12t
At acceleration = 0, take time as T in velocity function.
0 =v(T) = 24 - 6T²
Solve for T
Substitute -2 for t in acceleration function:
a(t) = a(T) = a(-2) = -12(-2) = 24 m/s
Acceleration = 24m/s
Answer: 0.5 seconds or 2.625 seconds
Explanation:
At t = 0, The ball is 4 ft above the ground.
The height of the football varies with time in the following way:
s(t) = -16 t² + 50 t + 4
we need to find the time in which the height would of the football would be 25 ft:
⇒25 = -16 t² + 50 t + 4
we need to solve the quadratic equation:
⇒ 16 t² - 50 t + 21 = 0
⇒ t = 0.5 s or 2.625 s
Therefore, at t = 0.5 s or 2.625 s, the football would be 25 ft above the ground.
To solve this problem we apply the thermodynamic equations of linear expansion in bodies.
Mathematically the change in the length of a body is subject to the mathematical expression
Where,
Initial Length
Thermal expansion coefficient
Change in temperature
Since we have values in different units we proceed to transform the temperature to degrees Celsius so
The coefficient of thermal expansion given is
The initial length would be,
Replacing we have to,
This means that the building will be 35.5cm taller
