Answer:

a)  t = 2.0 s,  b)  x_f = - 24.56 m,  Δx = 16.56 m

Explanation:

This is an exercise in kinematics, the relationship of position and time is indicated

          x = 5 t³ - 9t² -24 t - 8

a) ask when the velocity is zero

speed is defined by

         v = \frac{dx}{dt}

let's perform the derivative

        v = 15 t² - 18t - 24

        0 = 15 t² - 18t - 24

let's solve the quadratic equation

      t = \frac{18 \pm \sqrt{18^2 + 4 \ 15 \ 24}  }{2 \ 15}

       t = \frac{18 \pm 42}{30}

       t1 = -0.8 s

      t2 = 2.0 s

the time has to be positive therefore the correct answer is t = 2.0 s

b) the position and distance traveled for a = 0

acceleration is defined by

       a = dv / dt

       a = 30 t - 18

       a = 0

       30 t = 18

       t = 18/30

       t = 0.6 s

we substitute this time in the expression of the position

       

       x = 5 0.6³ - 9 0.6² - 24 0.6 - 8

       x = 1.08 - 3.24 - 14.4 - 8

       x = -24.56 m

we see that all the movement is in one dimension so the distance traveled is the change in position between t = 0 and t = 0.6 s

the position for t = 0

       x₀ = -8 m

the position for t = 0.6 s

      x_f = - 24.56 m

the distance

     ΔX = x_f - x₀

     Δx = | -24.56 -(-8) |

     Δx = 16.56 m

allochka39001 [22]
In order to get the propoerty of work you need to use the following formula
 <span>work = force times distance
</span>replacing data you will get:
W = (1.500) (3)
W =  4.500 NM
The answer should be in NM. So it will be 4500 NM againts the force of gravity

KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:The change in entropy of the total amount of water is negative as a result of the mixing.

Explanation:If you increase temperature, you increase entropy

Also More energy gives you greater entropy and randomness of the atoms.
