Bolt starts the race not moving, but then increased his speed until he reaches a top speed. Once Bolt reaches his top speed he m

aintains that speed for a few seconds to: a) move at constant velocity b) accelerate by moving faster c) accelerate by moving slower

Answer:

a

Explanation:

<u>In order to maintain speed, a moving object or person must move at a constant velocity</u>. Accelerating will increase the speed while decelerating will reduce the speed.

Hence, for Bolt to be able to maintain the top speed for a few seconds, he needs to move at a constant velocity.

The correct option is a.

Two forces, F? 1 and F? 2, act at a point, as shown in the picture. (Figure 1) F? 1 has a magnitude of 9.20 N and is directed at
Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

a. Fx = -8.089 N b. Fy = 3.525 N c. 8.824 N d. 336.45°

Explanation:

Since F₁ = 9.2 N and acts at 57° above the negative axis in the second quadrant, its x-component is -F₁cos57° and its y- component is F₁sin57°

Since F₁ = 5.2 N and acts at 53.7° below the negative axis in the third quadrant, its x-component is -F₂cos53.7° and its y- component is -F₂sin53.7°

Part A

What is the x component Fx of the resultant force?

The x component of the resultant force Fx = -F₁cos57° + -F₂cos53.7° = -9.2cos57° + (-5.2cos53.7°) = (-5.011 - 3.078) N = -8.089 N

Part B

What is the y component Fy of the resultant force?

The y component Fy of the resultant force = F₁sin57° + -(F₂sin53.7°) = 9.2sin57° - 5.2sin53.7° = (7.716 - 4.191) N = 3.525 N

Part C  

What is the magnitude F of the resultant force?

The magnitude F of the resultant force = √(Fx² + Fy²)

F = √(-8.089² N + 3.525² N) = √65.432 + 12.426 = √77.858 = 8.824 N

Part D

What is the angle ? that the resultant force forms with the negative x axis?

The angle the resultant force makes with the negative x axis is given by

θ = tan⁻¹(Fy/Fx) = tan⁻¹(3.525/-8.089) = tan⁻¹-0.4358 = -23.55°.

To measure it from the negative x axis, we add 360. So, our angle = 360 -23.55 = 336.45°

A force of 960 newtons stretches a spring 4 meters. A mass of 60 kilograms is attached to the end of the spring and is initially
Drupady [299]

Answer:

x(t) = - 6 cos 2t

Explanation:

Force of spring = - kx

k= spring constant

x= distance traveled by compressing

But force = mass × acceleration

==> Force = m × d²x/dt²

===> md²x/dt² = -kx

==> md²x/dt² + kx=0   ------------------------(1)

Now Again, by Hook's law

Force = -kx

==> 960=-k × 400

==> -k =960 /4 =240 N/m

ignoring -ve sign k= 240 N/m

Put given data in eq (1)

We get

60d²x/dt² + 240x=0

==> d²x/dt² + 4x=0

General solution for this differential eq is;

x(t) = A cos 2t + B sin 2t   ------------------------(2)

Now initially

position of mass spring

at time = 0 sec

x (0) = 0 m

initial velocity v= = dx/dt=  6m/s

from (2) we have;

dx/dt= -2Asin 2t +2B cost 2t = v(t) --- (3)

put t =0 and dx/dt = v(0) = -6 we get;

-2A sin 2(0)+2Bcos(0) =-6

==> 2B = -6

B= -3

Putting B = 3 in eq (2) and ignoring first term (because it is not possible to find value of A with given initial conditions) - we get

x(t) = - 6 cos 2t

A single-slit diffraction pattern is formed by monochromatic electromagnetic radiation from a distant source passing through a s
tatiyna

Answer:

a. λ = 647.2 nm

b. I₀  9.36 x 10⁻⁵

Explanation:

Given:

β = 56.0 rad , θ = 3.09 ° , γ = 0.170 mm = 0.170 x 10⁻³ m

a.

The wavelength of the radiation can be find using

β = 2 π / γ * sin θ

λ = [ 2π * γ * sin θ ] / β

λ = [ 2π * 0.107 x 10⁻³m * sin (3.09°) ] / 56.0 rad

λ = 647.14 x 10⁻⁹ m  ⇒  λ = 647.2 nm

b.

The intensity of the central maximum I₀

I = I₀ (4 / β² ) * sin ( β / 2)²

I = I₀ (4 / 56.0²) * [ sin (56.0 /2) ]²

I = I₀  9.36 x 10⁻⁵
