Answer:

Please check the explanation

Explanation:

The best two methods will be:

Factor by grouping

Factor out the GCF

Factor by grouping

Factor by grouping deals with establishing a smaller groups from each term.

$18x^2=\:\left(2\cdot 3\cdot 3\cdot x^2\right)$

$8\:=\:\:2\cdot 2\cdot 2$

Therefore, the expression becomes

$18x^2=\:\left(2\cdot 3\cdot 3\cdot x^2\right)-\left(2\cdot \:2\cdot \:2\right)$

Now factor out the greatest common factor (GCF) which is 2

$=\:2\left(3\cdot \:\:3x^2-\left(2\right)\left(2\right)\right)$

$=2\left(9x^2-2\cdot \:2\right)$

$=2\left(9x^2-4\right)$

Factor out the GCF

Given the expression

$18x^2-8\:\:\:$

factor out common term 2

$=2\left(9x^2-4\right)$

$=2\left(3x+2\right)\left(3x-2\right)$ ∵ $Factors\:\:\left(9x^2-4\right)=\left(3x+2\right)\left(3x-2\right)$

A particle moves in a straight line with the velocity function v ( t ) = sin ( w t ) cos 3 ( w t ) . find its position function

Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Integrating the velocity equation, we will see that the position equation is:

$$f(t)=\frac{\cos ^3(\omega t)-1}{3}$

<h3>How to get the position equation of the particle?</h3>

Let the velocity of the particle is:

$$v(t)=\sin (\omega t) * \cos ^2(\omega t)$

To get the position equation we just need to integrate the above equation:

$$f(t)=\int \sin (\omega t) * \cos ^2(\omega t) d t$

$$\mathrm{u}=\cos (\omega \mathrm{t})$

Then:

$$d u=-\sin (\omega t) d t$

$\Rightarrow d t=-d u / \sin (\omega t)$

Replacing that in our integral we get:

$\int \sin (\omega t) * \cos ^2(\omega t) d t$

$-\int \frac{\sin (\omega t) * u^2 d u}{\sin (\omega t)}-\int u^2 d t=-\frac{u^3}{3}+c$

Where C is a constant of integration.

Now we remember that $u=\cos (\omega t)$

Then we have:

$$f(t)=\frac{\cos ^3(\omega t)}{3}+C$

To find the value of C, we use the fact that f(0) = 0.

$$f(t)=\frac{\cos ^3(\omega * 0)}{3}+C=\frac{1}{3}+C=0$

C = -1 / 3

Then the position function is:

$$f(t)=\frac{\cos ^3(\omega t)-1}{3}$

Integrating the velocity equation, we will see that the position equation is:

$$f(t)=\frac{\cos ^3(\omega t)-1}{3}$

What is the momentum of a ten ton truck which is sitting still?

ANTONII [103]

The momentum of the truck is given by:

p = mv

p = momentum, m = mass, v = velocity

There isn't too much work to do here; the truck is at rest, therefore its velocity is 0. This means the product of m and v is 0, giving the momentum as 0.

A 41 kg girl and a 5.0 kg sled are on the frictionless ice of a frozen lake, 15 m apart but connected by a rope of negligible ma

goldfiish [28.3K]

(a) 0.8 m/s^2

The force exerted on the sled is F = 4.0 N. We can calculate the acceleration of the sled by using Newton's second law:

$F=ma$

where

m = 5.0 kg is the mass of the sled

a is the acceleration of the sled

Solving the equation for a, we find:

$a=\frac{F}{m}=\frac{4.0 N}{5.0 kg}=0.8 m/s^2$

(b) 0.098 m/s^2

According to Newton's third law (action-reaction law), since the girl exerts a force on the sled, then the sled exerts an equal and opposite force on the girl as well. This means that the force exerted on the girl is also F = 4.0 N. As before, we can calculate the acceleration of the girl by using Newton's second law:

$F=ma$

where

m = 41 kg is the mass of the girl

a is the acceleration of the girl

Solving the equation for a, we find:

$a=\frac{F}{m}=\frac{4.0 N}{41 kg}=0.098 m/s^2$

(c) 5.8 s

Taking the initial position of the girl as x = 0, the position at time t of the girl is given by:

$x(t)=\frac{1}{2}a_g t^2$

where $a_g = 0.098 m/s^2$ is the acceleration of the girl.

The sled starts instead its motion from x = 15 m, so its position at time t is given by

$x'(t)=15-\frac{1}{2}a_s t^2$

where $a_s=0.8 m/s^2$ is the acceleration of the sled, and the negative sign is due to the fact that the sled accelerates in opposite direction to the girl's acceleration.

The girl and the sled meet when x(t) = x'(t). So, we find:

$\frac{1}{2}a_g t^2=15-\frac{1}{2}a_s t^2\\(a_g+a_s) t^2=30 m\\t=\sqrt{\frac{30 m}{a_g+a_s}}=\sqrt{\frac{30 m}{0.8 m/s^2+0.098 m/s^2}}=5.8 s$
