\vec r(t)=bt^2\,\vec\imath+ct^3\,\vec\jmath

The velocity at time t is

\dfrac{\mathrm d\vec r(t)}{\mathrm dt}=2bt\,\vec\imath+3ct^2\,\vec\jmath

Take two vectors that point in the positive x and positive y directions, such as \vec\imath and \vec\jmath. The dot products of the velocity vector with \vec\imath and \vec\jmath are

\dfrac{\mathrm d\vec r(t)}{\mathrm dt}\cdot\vec\imath=2bt=\sqrt{4b^2t^2+9c^2t^4}\cos\theta

and

\dfrac{\mathrm d\vec r(t)}{\mathrm dt}\cdot\vec\jmath=3ct^2=\sqrt{4b^2t^2+9c^2t^4}\cos\theta

We want the angles between these vectors to be 45º, for which we have \cos45^\circ=\frac1{\sqrt2}. So

\begin{cases}2\sqrt2\,bt=\sqrt{4b^2t^2+9c^2t^4}\\3\sqrt2\,ct^2=\sqrt{4b^2t^2+9c^2t^4}\end{cases}\implies3\sqrt2\,ct^2-2\sqrt2\,bt=0

\implies t(3ct-2b)=0

\implies t=0\text{ or }t=\dfrac{2b}{3c}

When t=0, the velocity vector is equal to the zero vector, which technically has no direction/doesn't make an angle with any other vector. So the only time this happens is for

\boxed{t=\dfrac{2b}{3c}}

siniylev [52]

Answer:

What are we supposed to find, if it is kinetic energy then this is the solution.

K.E=1/2mv^2

K.E= kinetic energy

M=mass

V=velocity

K.E =0.5*55*0.6^2

K.E=9.9J

Please help im stuck and can't find the answer sheet ANYWHERE :(​ PLEASEEEEEEEEEEE
Vladimir [108]

Answer:

All steps are 20 * 100  (break the rest into appropriate pieces)

You can multiply as follows

(2000) * ((3 * 60) + (2 * 60) + 60)

V = 2000 * 6 * 60) = 720,000 cm^3 = .72 m^3

.72 m^3 * 2400 kg / m^3 = 1728 kg
