Answer:
(a) ,
(b) When , object is slowing down, when
object is speeding up.
Explanation:
(a) To get the velocity function, we need to take the derivative of the position function.
To get the acceleration function, we need to take the derivative of the velocity function.
(b) The object is slowing down when velocity is decreasing by time (decelerating) hence a < 0
On the other hand, object is speeding up when a > 0
Therefore, when , object is slowing down, when
object is speeding up.
Answer:
Second drop: 1.04 m
First drop: 1.66 m
Explanation:
Assuming the droplets are not affected by aerodynamic drag.
They are in free fall, affected only by gravity.
I set a frame of reference with the origin at the nozzle and the positive X axis pointing down.
We can use the equation for position under constant acceleration.
X(t) = x0 + v0 * t + 1/2 * a *t^2
x0 = 0
a = 9.81 m/s^2
v0 = 0
Then:
X(t) = 4.9 * t^2
The drop will hit the floor when X(t) = 1.9
1.9 = 4.9 * t^2
t^2 = 1.9 / 4.9
That is the moment when the 4th drop begins falling.
Assuming they fall at constant interval,
Δt = 0.62 / 3 = 0.2 s (approximately)
The second drop will be at:
X2(0.62) = 4.9 * (0.62 - 1*0.2)^2 = 0.86 m
And the third at:
X3(0.62) = 4.9 * (0.62 - 2*0.2)^2 = 0.24 m
The positions are:
1.9 - 0.86 = 1.04 m
1.9 - 0.24 = 1.66 m
above the floor
The speed of the ball is 101miles/hr.
A mile is a unit of length that is exactly 1,609.344 metres long. Similarly, 5,280 feet or 1,760 yards make up one mile. The mile is an imperial and common US measurement of distance.
We just have to deal with unit conversions.
One mile is 5280 feet, or 1 ft = 0.000189
The speed of the ball in miles per hour is
So, the speed of the ball in miles per hour is 101miles/hr.
