Connection to Big Idea about energy: Gravity creates gravitational potential energy. Gravitational energy relies on the masses of two bodies and their distance.
Connection to Big Idea about the universe: Gravitational force is exerted by all objects with mass throughout the Universe. It is what keeps the Earth and the planets in orbit around the Sun, and our Solar System in orbit around the centre of the Milky Way. Gravity is one of the forces involved in the birth of stars, their evolution and finally their death.
Connection to Big Idea about Earth: The gravitational force is responsible for many physical properties of Earth and consequently it affects the existence and the properties of living creatures on it. For instance, the existence, the chemical composition and the structure of Earth’s atmosphere was determined by Earth’s gravitational force.
Since you are looking for the speed, you need to rearrange the formula which is f = speed / wavelength. That should give you speed = f (wavelength.) All you need to do next is to substitute the value to the following equation. speed = 250 Hz (6.0m) that should leave you with 1500 m/s which is very fast.
Answer:
a) x(t) = 10t + (2/3)*t^3
b) x*(0.1875) = 10.18 m
Explanation:
Note: The position of the horse is x = 2m. There is a typing error in the question. Otherwise, The solution to cubic equation holds a negative value of time t.
Given:
- v(t) = 10 + 2*t^2 (radar gun)
- x*(t) = 10 + 5t^2 + 3t^3 (our coordinate)
Find:
-The position x of horse as a function of time t in radar system.
-The position of the horse at x = 2m in our coordinate system
Solution:
- The position of horse according to radar gun:
v(t) = dx / dt = 10 + 2*t^2
- Separate variables:
dx = (10 + 2*t^2).dt
- Integrate over interval x = 0 @ t= 0
x(t) = 10t + (2/3)*t^3
- time @ x = 2 :
2 = 10t + (2/3)*t^3
0 = 10t + (2/3)*t^3 + 2
- solve for t:
t = 0.1875 s
- Evaluate x* at t = 0.1875 s
x*(0.1875) = 10 + 5(0.1875)^2 + 3(0.1875)^3
x*(0.1875) = 10.18 m
