a particle is moving along a circular path having a radius of 4 in such that its position as a function of time is given by thet

ANTONII [103]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

radius of circular path $r=4\ in.$

Position is given by

$\theta =\cos 2t---1$

Differentiate 1 to angular velocity we get

$\frac{\mathrm{d} \theta }{\mathrm{d} t}=\omega =-2\sin 2t----2$

Differentiate 2 to get angular acceleration

$\frac{\mathrm{d} \omega }{\mathrm{d} t}=-2^2\cos 2t ---3$

Net acceleration is the vector summation of tangential and centripetal force

$a_t=\alpha \times r$

$a_t=-4\cos 2t\times 4=-16\cos 2t$

$a_r=\omega ^2\cdot r$

$a_r=(-2\sin 2t)^2\cdot 4$

$a_r=16\sin^2(2t)$

$a_{net}=\sqrt{a_r^2+a_t^2}$

$a_{net}=\sqrt{(16\sin ^2(2t)+(-16\cos 2t)^2}$

$a_{net}=\sqrt{256\cos ^2(2t)+256\sin ^4(2t)}$

Anon25 [30]

Answer:

If there was no air resistance

Explanation:

We know that free fall is a unique motion in which gravity only works on one object. Objects that are said to be free-falling do not experience a significant force of air resistance; They come under the sole effect of gravity. Under such conditions, all objects fall under the same acceleration, regardless of their mass.

A motorcycle of mass 100 kilograms slowly rolls off the edge of a cliff and falls for three seconds before reaching the bottom o

Jet001 [13]

Answer:

C) 3,000 kg m/s

Explanation:

We can consider the horizontal velocity of the motorcycle to be zero, since it rolls off the edge of the cliff very slowly. So, we only need to find the vertical velocity at the time of the impact with the ground.

The vertical velocity of the motorcycle at time t is given by (free-fall motion):

$v(t)=v_0 -gt$

where

$v_0=0$ is the initial vertical velocity (zero, since the motorcycle is not moving)

g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity

t is the time

Since the motorcycle hits the ground after t = 3 seconds, we have

$v(3 s)=0-(9.8 m/s^2)(3 s)=-29.4 m/s$

And since we know its mass, m=100 kg, we can find its momentum:

$p=mv=(100 kg)(-29.4 m/s)=-2940 kg m/s \cdot -3000 kg m/s$

and the negative sign simply means downward direction.

A 12.0 cm object is 9.0 cm from a convex mirror that has a focal length of -4.5 cm. What is the distance of the image from the m

Rasek [7]

Answer:

- 3 cm

Explanation:

From the mirror formula;

1/f = 1/v + 1/u ; where f is the focal length, v is the image distance, and u is the object distance.

1/-4.5 = 1/9 + 1/v

1/v = -1/4.5 - 1/9

= -1/3

Therefore;

v = -3 cm

Hence;

Image distance is - 3cm
