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}.

A lamp is connected to the power supply.
Vika [28.1K]

Answer:

There are 45 turns in the secondary coil.

Explanation:

Given that,

Input potential of the lamp, V_{in}=5\ V

The output potential of the lamp, V_{out}=1.5\ V

Number of turns in primary coil, N_P=150

We need to find the number of turns needed on the secondary coil. We know that the ratio for a transformer is as follows :

\dfrac{V_{out}}{V_{in}}=\dfrac{N_s}{N_P}\\\\N_s=\dfrac{V_{out}N_P}{V_{in}}\\\\N_s=\dfrac{1.5\times 150}{5}\\\\N_s=45\

So, there are 45 turns in the secondary coil.

stich3 [128]
-- Use the formula  D=(1/2)·(g)·(t²)  to calculate how long
it takes the flower pot to fall to the ground.

1.5 m = (1/2) · (9.8 m/s²) · (t²)

t² = (1.5 m) / (4.9 m/s²)

t = 0.554 second

-- Use the formula Distance = (speed)·(time) to calculate
how far the pot traveled horizontally in that amount of time.

Distance = (8 m/s) · (0.554 sec)

Distance horizontally = 4.43 meters

EASY BRAINLIEST PLEASE HELP!!
Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

Solution given:

frequency[f]=x

velocity[V]=15000m/s

wave length=59m

we have

wave length=\frac{V}{f}

59m=\frac{15000}{x}

x=\frac{15000}{59}=254.Hz

frequency=254Hz

Suppose a large housefly 3.0 m away from you makes sound with an intensity level of 40.0 dB. What would be the sound intensity l
melisa1 [442]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let the intensity of the noise be represented by I

Given that

40dB = 10 log 10 ⁡ ( I /I•) ........ 1

I• is the lowest or threshold intensity of sound made.

I represents the intensity of the sound/ noise

The intensity of noise of 1000flies will be

β = 10 log 10 ⁡(1000I/I•)

Open up the bracket

β = 10 log 10(1000)+ 10 log 10(I/I•)

10 log 10(10^3)+10 log 10(I/I•)

3×10(10 log 10) +10 log 10(I/I•)

Recall, 10 log 10 = 1

30×1 + 10 log 10(I/I•).........2

Put equation 1 into 2

β =30+40

= 70db
