Answer:

The time it will take the car to travel the next 15 m is 1 s.

Explanation:

Given;

initial velocity of the car, u = 0

time of motion, t = 2.4 s

initial distance traveled, d = 15 m

determine the constant acceleration of the car;

d = ut  +  ¹/₂at²

15 = 0  +  (0.5 x 2.4²)a

15 = 2.88a

a = 15 / 2.88

a = 5.21 m/s²

The velocity of the car at the end of the first 15 m

v - u + at

v = 0 + 5.21 x 2.4

v = 12.5 m/s

The time to cover the next 15 m;

d₂ = vt  + ¹/₂at²

15 = 12.5t  +  (0.5 x 5.21)t²

15 = 12.5t  +  2.61t²

0 = 2.61t²  +   12.5t   -  15

Use the formula method to solve the above quadratic equation.

a = 2.61

b = 12.5

c = -15

t = \frac{-b \ \ +/-   \ \ \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac} }{2a} \\\\t = \frac{-12.5 \ \ +/-   \ \ \sqrt{12.5^2 - (4\times 2.61 \times -15)} }{2\times 2.61}\\\\t = 0.9937 \ s \ \ \ or \ \ \ -5.78 \ s\\\\time \ can \ only \ be \ positive;\\\\t \approx \ 1\ s

Therefore, the time it will take the car to travel the next 15 m is 1 s.

Answer:

A= 148.92  m/s²

Explanation:

Given that

U(x,y) = (6.00  )x²  - (3.75  )y ³

m= 0.04 kg

Now force in the x-direction

Fx= - dU/dx

U(x,y) = (6.00  )x²  - (3.75  )y ³

dU/dx= 12 x

When x=0.4 m

dU/dx= 12 x 0.4 = 4.8

So we can say that

Fx= - 4.8 N

From Newtons law

F= m a

- 4.8 = 0.04 x a

a = -120 m/s²

Acceleration in x direction ,a = -120 m/s²

In y -direction

F= - dU/dy

U(x,y) = (6.00  )x²  - (3.75  )y ³

dU/dy = 0 - 3.75 x 3 y²

When y = 0.56 m

dU/dy = - 3.75 x 3 x 0.56 x 0.56

dU/dy = - 3.52

So we can say that force in y -direction

F= 3.52 N

F= m a'

3.52 = 0.04 x a'

a'=88.2 m/s²

acceleration in y direction is 88.2 m/s²

The resultant acceleration

A=\sqrt{a^2+a'^2}

A=\sqrt{120^2+88.2^2}

A= 148.92  m/s²
