In the figure, particle A moves along the line y = 31 m with a constant velocity v with arrow of magnitude 2.8 m/s and parallel

to the x axis. At the instant particle A passes the y axis, particle B leaves the origin with zero initial speed and constant acceleration a with arrow of magnitude 0.35 m/s2. What angle between a with arrow and the positive direction of the y axis would result in a collision?

Answer:

59.26°

Explanation:

Since a is the acceleration of the particle B, the horizontal component of acceleration is a" = asinθ and the vertical component is a' = acosθ where θ angle between a with arrow and the positive direction of the y axis.

Now, for particle B to collide with particle A, it must move vertically the distance between A and B which is y = 31 m in time, t.

Using y = ut + 1/2a't² where u = initial velocity of particle B = 0 m/s, t = time taken for collision, a' = vertical component of particle B's acceleration =  acosθ.

So, y = ut + 1/2a't²

y = 0 × t + 1/2(acosθ)t²

y = 0 + 1/2(acosθ)t²

y = 1/2(acosθ)t²   (1)

Also, both particles must move the same horizontal distance to collide in time, t.

Let x be the horizontal distance,

x = vt (2)where v = velocity of particle A = 2.8 m/s and t = time for collision

Also,  using x = ut + 1/2a"t² where u = initial velocity of particle B = 0 m/s, t = time taken for collision, a" = horizontal component of particle B's acceleration =  asinθ.

So, x = ut + 1/2a"t²

x = 0 × t + 1/2(ainsθ)t²

x = 0 + 1/2(asinθ)t²

x = 1/2(asinθ)t²  (3)

Equating (2) and (3), we have

vt = 1/2(asinθ)t²   (4)

From (1) t = √[2y/(acosθ)]

Substituting t into (4), we have

v√[2y/(acosθ)] = 1/2(asinθ)(√[2y/(acosθ)])²  

v√[2y/(acosθ)] = 1/2(asinθ)(2y/(acosθ)  

v√[2y/(acosθ)] = ytanθ

√[2y/(acosθ)] = ytanθ/v

squaring both sides, we have

(√[2y/(acosθ)])² = (ytanθ/v)²

2y/acosθ = (ytanθ/v)²

2y/acosθ = y²tan²θ/v²

2/acosθ = ytan²θ/v²

1/cosθ = aytan²θ/2v²

Since 1/cosθ = secθ = √(1 + tan²θ) ⇒ sec²θ = 1 + tan²θ ⇒ tan²θ = sec²θ - 1

secθ = ay(sec²θ - 1)/2v²

2v²secθ = aysec²θ - ay

aysec²θ - 2v²secθ - ay = 0

Let secθ = p

ayp² - 2v²p - ay = 0

Substituting the values of a = 0.35 m/s, y = 31 m and v = 2.8 m/s into the equation, we have

ayp² - 2v²p - ay = 0

0.35 × 31p² - 2 × 2.8²p - 0.35 × 31 = 0

10.85p² - 15.68p - 10.85 = 0

dividing through by 10.85, we have

p² - 1.445p - 1 = 0

Using the quadratic formula to find p,

p = \frac{-(-1.445) +/- \sqrt{(-1.445)^{2} - 4 X 1 X (-1)}}{2 X 1} \\p = \frac{1.445 +/- \sqrt{2.088 + 4}}{2} \\p = \frac{1.445 +/- \sqrt{6.088}}{2} \\p = \frac{1.445 +/- 2.4675}{2} \\p = \frac{1.445 + 2.4675}{2} or p = \frac{1.445 - 2.4675}{2} \\p = \frac{3.9125}{2} or p = \frac{-1.0225}{2} \\p = 1.95625 or -0.51125

Since p = secθ

secθ = 1.95625 or secθ = -0.51125

cosθ = 1/1.95625 or cosθ = 1/-0.51125

cosθ = 0.5112 or cosθ = -1.9956

Since -1 ≤ cosθ ≤ 1 we ignore the second value since it is less than -1.

So, cosθ = 0.5112

θ = cos⁻¹(0.5112)

θ = 59.26°

So, the angle between a with arrow and the positive direction of the y axis would result in a collision is 59.26°.

How does the function of the parts of the system contribute to its function as a whole
oksano4ka [1.4K]
Answer and explanation: Just as the organs in an organ system work together to accomplish their task, so the different organ systems also cooperate to keep the body running. For example, the respiratory system and the circulatory system work closely together to deliver oxygen to cells and to get rid of the carbon dioxide the cells produce.

mixer [17]

The approximate orbital period of this star is 13 years.

<h3>What is Kepler's third law?</h3>

The square of a planet's period of revolution around the sun in an elliptical orbit is directly proportional to the cube of its semi-major axis, states Kepler's law of periods.

T² ∝ a³

The time it takes for one rotation to complete depends on how closely the planet orbits the sun. With the use of the equations for Newton's theories of motion and gravitation, Kepler's third law assumes a more comprehensive shape:

P² = 4π² /[G(M₁+ M₂)] × a³

where M₁ and M₂ are the two circling objects' respective masses in solar masses.

Which way does current always flow?
Phoenix [80]

Answer:

Electrons move through the wires in the opposite direction.

Explanation:

The direction of an electric current is by convention the direction in which a positive charge would move. Thus, the current in the external circuit is directed away from the positive terminal and toward the negative terminal of the battery.
