Answer:

5 m/s

Explanation:

The formula of speed is : distance/time taken.

The skateboarder covered a distance of 20 meters in 4 seconds. So,

Distance = 20 meters

Time Taken = 4 seconds

Speed = 20/4 = 5 m/s

A 0.29 kg particle moves in an xy plane according to x(t) = - 19 + 1 t - 3 t3 and y(t) = 20 + 7 t - 9 t2, with x and y in meters

Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

Part a)

$F = 7.76 N$

Part b)

$\theta = -137.7 degree$

Part c)

$\theta = -127.7 degree$

Explanation:

As we know that acceleration is rate of change in velocity of the object

So here we know that

$x = -19 + t - 3t^3$

$y = 20 + 7t - 9t^2$

Part a)

differentiate x and y two times with respect to time to find the acceleration

$a_x = \frac{d^2}{dt^2}(-19 + t - 3t^3)$

$a_x = \frac{d}{dt}(0 +1 - 9t^2)$

$a_x = -18t$

$a_y = \frac{d^2}{dt^2}(20 + 7t - 9t^2)$

$a_y = \frac{d}{dt}(0 +7 - 18t)$

$a_y = -18$

Now the acceleration of the object is given as

$\vec a = (-18t)\hat i + (-18)\hat j$

at t= 1.1 s we have

$\vec a = -19.8 \hat i - 18 \hat j$

now the net force of the object is given as

$\vec F = m\vec a$

$\vec F = (0.29 kg)(-19.8 \hat i - 18 \hat j)$

$\vec F = -5.74 \hat i - 5.22 \hat j$

now magnitude of the force will be

$F = \sqrt{5.74^2 + 5.22^2} = 7.76 N$

Part b)

Direction of the force is given as

$tan\theta = \frac{F_y}{F_x}$

$tan\theta = \frac{-5.22}{-5.74}$

$\theta = -137.7 degree$

Part c)

For velocity of the particle we have

$v_x = \frac{dx}[dt}$

$v_x = (0 +1 - 9t^2)$

$v_y = \frac{dy}{dt}$

$v_y = (0 +7 - 18t)$

now at t = 1.1 s

$\vec v = -9.89\hat i - 12.8 \hat j$

now the direction of the velocity is given as

$\theta = tan^{-1}(\frac{v_y}{v_x})$

$\theta = tan^{-1}(\frac{-12.8}{-9.89})$

$\theta = -127.7 degree$

From the average distance of one of jupiter's moons to jupiter and its orbital period around jupiter, we can determine:

den301095 [7]

Answer: Jupiter's mass

Explanation:

From Kepler's third law:

$T^2=\frac{4\pi^2}{GM}a^3$

where T is the orbital period of a satellite, a is the average distance of the satellite from the Planet, M is the mass of the planet, G is the gravitational constant.

If the average distance of one of Jupiter's moons to Jupiter and its orbital period around Jupiter is given then mass of the Jupiter can be found:

$\Rightarrow M_J=\frac{4\pi^2}{GT_m^2}a_m^3$
