The position of a particle moving along the x-axis depends on the time according to the equation x = ct2 - bt3, where x is in me

ters, t in seconds, and c and b are positive constants. What are the units of (a) constant c and (b) constant b? Find a formula in terms of c, b, and t of the (c) velocity v and (d) acceleration a. (e) At what time t ≥ 0 does the particle reach its maximum x value?

Answer:

(a):  \rm meter/ second^2.

(b):  \rm meter/ second^3.

(c):  \rm 2ct-3bt^2.

(d):  \rm 2c-6bt.

(e):  \rm t=\dfrac{2c}{3b}.

Explanation:

Given, the position of the particle along the x axis is

\rm x=ct^2-bt^3.

The units of terms \rm ct^2 and \rm bt^3 should also be same as that of x, i.e., meters.

The unit of t is seconds.

(a):

Unit of \rm ct^2=meter

Therefore, unit of \rm c= meter/ second^2.

(b):

Unit of \rm bt^3=meter

Therefore, unit of \rm b= meter/ second^3.

(c):

The velocity v and the position x of a particle are related as

\rm v=\dfrac{dx}{dt}\\=\dfrac{d}{dx}(ct^2-bt^3)\\=2ct-3bt^2.

(d):

The acceleration a and the velocity v of the particle is related as

\rm a = \dfrac{dv}{dt}\\=\dfrac{d}{dt}(2ct-3bt^2)\\=2c-6bt.

(e):

The particle attains maximum x at, let's say, \rm t_o, when the following two conditions are fulfilled:

  1. \rm \left (\dfrac{dx}{dt}\right )_{t=t_o}=0.
  2. \rm \left ( \dfrac{d^2x}{dt^2}\right )_{t=t_o}

Applying both these conditions,

\rm \left ( \dfrac{dx}{dt}\right )_{t=t_o}=0\\2ct_o-3bt_o^2=0\\t_o(2c-3bt_o)=0\\t_o=0\ \ \ \ \ or\ \ \ \ \ 2c=3bt_o\Rightarrow t_o = \dfrac{2c}{3b}.

For \rm t_o = 0,

\rm \left ( \dfrac{d^2x}{dt^2}\right )_{t=t_o}=2c-6bt_o = 2c-6\cdot 0=2c

Since, c is a positive constant therefore, for \rm t_o = 0,

\rm \left ( \dfrac{d^2x}{dt^2}\right )_{t=t_o}>0

Thus, particle does not reach its maximum value at \rm t = 0\ s.

For \rm t_o = \dfrac{2c}{3b},

\rm \left ( \dfrac{d^2x}{dt^2}\right )_{t=t_o}=2c-6bt_o = 2c-6b\cdot \dfrac{2c}{3b}=2c-4c=-2c.

Here,

\rm \left ( \dfrac{d^2x}{dt^2}\right )_{t=t_o}

Thus, the particle reach its maximum x value at time \rm t_o = \dfrac{2c}{3b}.

If the back of the truck is 1.3 m above the ground and the ramp is inclined at 22 ∘ , how much time do the workers have to get t
solong [7]
Refer to the diagram shown below.

Assume that
(a) The piano rolls down on frictionless wheels,
(b) Wind resistance is negligible.

The distance along the ramp is
d = (1.3 m)/sin(22°) = 3.4703 m

The component of the piano's weight along the ramp is
mg sin(22°)
If the acceleration down the ramp is a, then
ma = mg sin(22°)
a = g sin(22°) = (9.8 m/s²) sin(22°) = 3.671 m/s²

The time, t, to travel down the ramp from rest is given by
(3.4703 m) = 0.5*(3.671 m/s²)*(t s)²
t² = 3.4703/1.8355 = 1.8907
t = 1.375 s

Answer: 1.375 s
