\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}}

A 8.0×104kgspaceship is at rest in deep space. Its thrusters provide a force of 1200kN. The spaceship fires its thrusters for 20
Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

Time = 40 s

It will take the spaceship 40s to coast that distance.

Explanation:

Using the impulse momentum equation;

Impulse = change in momentum

Ft = m(∆v) ........1

Given;

Force F = 1200kN

time of action t = 20s

Mass of spaceship m = 8.0×10^4 kg

∆v = change in velocity

Substituting the values into equation 1;

1200kN × 20s =8.0×10^4 kg × ∆v

∆v = 1200000×20/80000

∆v = 300 m/s

Since it was initially at rest, V0 = 0

Final velocity V2 = 300 + 0

V2 = 300m/s

Time To travel 12 km,

Time = distance/speed

Distance = 12 km = 12000m

Speed = 300m/s

Time = 12000/300

Time = 40 s

It will take the spaceship 40s to coast that distance.

For the chemical reaction C2H6 --> C2H4 + H2 + 137kJ, the chemical energy of the A. reactant and the chemical energy of the p
Goryan [66]

Answer: The chemical energy of reactants is greater than the chemical energy of products.

Explanation: In the given reaction

C_2H_6\rightarrow C_2H_4 + H_2 +137 kJ

It can be seen that the energy has been released. Thus we can say that reactants have converted to products by release of energy. Thus energy of products is less as compared to energy of reactants as some of the energy has been released.

Black smokers are hot volcanic vents that emit smoke deep in the ocean floor. Many of them teem with exotic creatures, and some
erica [24]

If the density of water does not vary and the vents range in depth from about 1500 m to 3200 m below the surface, then the gauge pressure at a 2452-m deep vent is 224.268 atm.

Calculation:

Step-1:

It is given that the vents range in depth from about 1500 m to 3200 m below the surface. If we are assuming that the density of water does not vary. Then it is required to calculate the gauge pressure at a 2452-m deep vent.

The gauge pressure at a particular depth of ocean water is calculated as:

$$P=\rho g h$$

Here \rho is the density of water, P is the required pressure, h is the depth of water, and g is the gravitational acceleration.

Step-2:

Now we are substituting the values to calculate the pressure at the depth of 2452-m.

$$\\\begin{aligned}\\P&=\rho gh\\&=1030 (\text{ kg/m}^3)\times 9.8 (\text{ m/s}^2)\times 2452 \text{ m}\\&=24.75\times 10^6 \text{ Pa}\times\frac{1 \text{ atm}}{10.1325 \times10^4 \text{ Pa}}\\&=224.268 \text{ atm}\\\end{aligned}\\$$
