Answer:

the smallest radius of the circular path is 8.1 km

Explanation:

The computation of the smallest radius of the circular path is given below:

Given that

V = Velocity = 201 m/s

a_c = acceleration = 5 m/s^2

radius = ?

As we know that

a_c = V^2 ÷ r

5 = 201^2 ÷ r

r = 201^2 ÷ 5

= 8,080.2 g

= 8.1 km

Hence, the smallest radius of the circular path is 8.1 km

At time t=0, a particle is located at the point (3,6,9). It travels in a straight line to the point (5,2,7), has speed 8 at (3,6
Elis [28]

The particle has constant acceleration according to

\vec a(t)=2\,\vec\imath-4\,\vec\jmath-2\,\vec k

Its velocity at time t is

\displaystyle\vec v(t)=\vec v(0)+\int_0^t\vec a(u)\,\mathrm du

\vec v(t)=\vec v(0)+(2\,\vec\imath-4\,\vec\jmath-2\,\vec k)t

\vec v(t)=(v_{0x}+2t)\,\vec\imath+(v_{0y}-4t)\,\vec\jmath+(v_{0z}-2t)\,\vec k

Then the particle has position at time t according to

\displaystyle\vec r(t)=\vec r(0)+\int_0^t\vec v(u)\,\mathrm du

\vec r(t)=(3+v_{0x}t+t^2)\,\vec\imath+(6+v_{0y}t-2t^2)\,\vec\jmath+(9+v_{0z}t-t^2)\,\vec k

At at the point (3, 6, 9), i.e. when t=0, it has speed 8, so that

\|\vec v(0)\|=8\iff{v_{0x}}^2+{v_{0y}}^2+{v_{0z}}^2=64

We know that at some time t=T, the particle is at the point (5, 2, 7), which tells us

\begin{cases}3+v_{0x}T+T^2=5\\6+v_{0y}T-2T^2=2\\9+v_{0z}T-T^2=7\end{cases}\implies\begin{cases}v_{0x}=\dfrac{2-T^2}T\\\\v_{0y}=\dfrac{2T^2-4}T\\\\v_{0z}=\dfrac{T^2-2}T\end{cases}

and in particular we see that

v_{0y}=-2v_{0x}

and

v_{0z}=-v_{0x}

Then

{v_{0x}}^2+(-2v_{0x})^2+(-v_{0x})^2=6{v_{0x}}^2=64\implies v_{0x}=\pm\dfrac{4\sqrt6}3

\implies v_{0y}=\mp\dfrac{8\sqrt6}3

\implies v_{0z}=\mp\dfrac{4\sqrt6}3

That is, there are two possible initial velocities for which the particle can travel between (3, 6, 9) and (5, 2, 7) with the given acceleration vector and given that it starts with a speed of 8. Then there are two possible solutions for its position vector; one of them is

\vec r(t)=\left(3+\dfrac{4\sqrt6}3t+t^2\right)\,\vec\imath+\left(6-\dfrac{8\sqrt6}3t-2t^2\right)\,\vec\jmath+\left(9-\dfrac{4\sqrt6}3t-t^2\right)\,\vec k

What force is required to accelerate to 10 kg object to 5.9 m/s/s?
g100num [7]

Force required to accelerate 10 kg object to 5.9 m/s/s ?

Mass = 10 kg

Acceleration = 5.9 m/s^2

Force = Mass * Acceleration

Force = 10 kg * 5.9 m/s^2

Force = 59 kg m /s^2 = 59 N
