The equation r (t )=(2t + 4)⋅i + (√ 7 )t⋅ j + 3t ²⋅k the position of a particle in space at time t. Find the angle between the v

velikii [3]

Answer:

$\theta = n\pi/2, {\rm where~n~is~an~integer.}$

Explanation:

We should first find the velocity and acceleration functions. The velocity function is the derivative of the position function with respect to time, and the acceleration function is the derivative of the velocity function with respect to time.

$\vec{v}(t) = \frac{d\vec{r}(t)}{dt} = (2)\^i + (\sqrt{7})\^j + (6t)\^k$

Similarly,

$\vec{a}(t) = \frac{d\vec{v}(t)}{dt} = (6)\^k$

Now, the angle between velocity and acceleration vectors can be found.

The angle between any two vectors can be found by scalar product of them:

$\vec{A}.\vec{B} = |\vec{A}|.|\vec{B}|.\cos(\theta)$

So,

$\vec{v}(t).\vec{a}(t) = |\vec{v}(t)|.|\vec{a}(t)|.\cos(\theta)\\36t = \sqrt{4 + 7 + 36t^2}.6.\cos(\theta)$

At time t = 0, this equation becomes

$0 = 6\sqrt{11}\cos(\theta)\\\cos(\theta) = 0\\\theta = n\pi/2, {\rm where~n~is~an~integer.}$

A 50kg meteorite moving at 1000 m/s strikes Earth. Assume the velocity is along the line joining Earth's center of mass and the

zysi [14]

As per the question, the mass of meteorite [ m]= 50 kg

The velocity of the meteorite [v] = 1000 m/s

When the meteorite falls on the ground, it will give whole of its kinetic energy to earth.

We are asked to calculate the gain in kinetic energy of earth.

The kinetic energy of meteorite is calculated as -

$Kinetic\ energy\ [K.E]\ =\frac{1}{2} mv^2$

$=\frac{1}{2}50kg*[1000\ m/s]^2$

$=\frac{1}{2}50* 10^{6}\ J$

$=25*10^6\ J$

Here, J stands for Joule which is the S.I unit of energy.

$Hence,\ the\ kinetic\ energy\ gained\ by\ earth\ is\ 25*10^6\ J$

What are organelles? Describe the role of two organelles within the cell.

zloy xaker [14]

Organelles are small structures found in cells that carry out certain tasks. Two examples of organelles are the Nucleus and the Mitochondria. Think of the nucleus as the brain of its cell, it controls activities and it contains a majority of the cells genetic material. The mitochondria is the part of the cells tasked with cellular respiration, which is the act of taking nutrients from a cell and turning it into energy.

Satellites remain in orbit around earth because

Earth's gravity and the satellite's velocity keeps it so that it stays in orbit. (there is a more complicated side, too...)

Juan makes an adjustment to an electromagnet that causes the electromagnet to lose some of its strength. What did Juan most like

Assoli18 [71]

Reducing the amount of loops will cause a loss of strength, as the loops make the magnet stronger.
