A particle moves in the xy plane, starting from the origin at t=0 with initial velocity having an x component of 20 m/s and a y

component of -15 m/s. The particle experiences an acceleration in the x direction, given by a x= 4.0 m/s2.
a) Determine the total velocity vector at any time.

b) Calculate the velocity and speed of the particle at t = 5.0 sec.

Answer:

a. $\vec{v} = \vec{v_x} + \vec{v_y} = (20 + 4t)\hat{x} - 15 \hat{y}$

b. 25m/s

Explanation:

Let t be the time.

The velocity in the x direction that is subjected to acceleration of 4 m/s2

$v_x = 20 + 4t$ m/s

The velocity in the y direction

$v_y = -15$ m/s

The total velocity at any time, which is the combination of both x and y vectors of velocity

$\vec{v} = \vec{v_x} + \vec{v_y} = (20 + 4t)\hat{x} - 15 \hat{y}$

b) at t = 5

$v^2 = v_x^2 + v_y^2 = (20 + 4t)^2 + 15^2 = (20 + 4*5)^2 + 15^2 = 400^2 + 225 = 625$

$v = \sqrt{625} = 25 m/s$

The graph indicates Linda’s walk.

Sedaia [141]

I think the right answer is the first one. If she stops moving her Position does not change any more-and the Graph Shows that after 6 seconds she stays at the Position of 5 m. If she Went Back to the start point the Graph would have Developed Back to 0m(decreased).

You are driving to the grocery store at 20 m/s. You are 110m from an intersection when the traffic light turns red. Assume that

oksano4ka [1.4K]

As we know that reaction time will be

$t = 0.50 s$

so the distance moved by car in reaction time

$d = vt$

$d = 20 \times 0.50$

$d = 10 m$

now the distance remain after that from intersection point is given by

$d = 110 - 10 = 100 m$

So our distance from the intersection will be 100 m when we apply brakes

now this distance should be covered till the car will stop

so here we will have

$v_f = 0$

$v_i = 20 m/s$

now from kinematics equation we will have

$v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2 a d$

$0 - 20^2 = 2(a)100$

$a = \frac{-400}{200} = -2 m/s^2$

so the acceleration required by brakes is -2 m/s/s

Now total time taken to stop the car after applying brakes will be given as

$v_f - v_i = at$

$0 - 20 = -2 (t)$

$t = 10 s$

total time to stop the car is given as

$T = 10 s + 0.5 s = 10.5 s$

The Orion nebula is one of the brightest diffuse nebulae in the sky (look for it in the winter, just below the three bright star

Oxana [17]

Answer:

T=183.21K

Explanation:

We have to take into account that the system is a ideal gas. Hence, we have the expression

$PV=nRT$

where P is the pressure, V is the volume, n is the number of moles, T is the temperature and R is the ideal gas constant.

Thus, it is necessary to calculate n and V

V is the volume of a sphere

$V=\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3=\frac{4}{3}\pi (5.9*10^{15}m)^3=8.602*10^{47}m^3$

V=8.86*10^{50}L

and for n

$n=\frac{(4000M_s)/(2*mH)}{6.022*10^{23}mol^{-1}}=3.95*10^{36}mol$

Hence, we have (1 Pa = 9.85*10^{-9}atm)

$T=\frac{PV}{nR}=\frac{(6.8*10^{-9}*9.85*10^{-6}atm)(8.86*10^{50}L)}{(0.0820\frac{atm*L}{mol*K})(3.95*10^{36}mol)}\\\\T=183.21K$

hope this helps!!

If you find an igneous rock which has 450 radioactive isotopes and 3,150 stable daughter isotopes, how many half-lifes of this i

slavikrds [6]

Answer:

$3t_{1/2}$

Explanation:

To find the half-lifes of the isotope we need to use the following equation:

$N_{t} = N_{0}2^{-\frac{t}{t_{1/2}}}$ (1)

<em>where Nt: is the amount of the isotope that has not yet decayed after a time t, N₀: is the initial amount of the isotope, t: is the time and </em> $t_{1/2}$ <em>: is the half-lifes.</em>

By solving equation (1) for t we have:

$\frac{t}{t_{1/2}} = - \frac{Ln(Nt/N_{0})}{Ln(2)}$

<u>Having that:</u>

Nt = 450

N₀ = 3150 + 450 = 3600,

The half-lifes of the isotope is:

$t = - \frac{Ln(450/3600)}{Ln(2)} \cdot t_{1/2} = 3t_{1/2}$

Therefore, 3 half-lives of the isotope passed since the rock was formed.

I hope it helps you!
