(a) 3.56 m/s
(b) 11 - 3.72a
(c) t = 5.9 s
(d) -11 m/s
For most of these problems, you're being asked the velocity of the rock as a function of t, while you've been given the position as a function of t. So first calculate the first derivative of the position function using the power rule.
y = 11t - 1.86t^2
y' = 11 - 3.72t
Now that you have the first derivative, it will give you the velocity as a function of t.
(a) Velocity after 2 seconds.
y' = 11 - 3.72t
y' = 11 - 3.72*2 = 11 - 7.44 = 3.56
So the velocity is 3.56 m/s
(b) Velocity after a seconds.
y' = 11 - 3.72t
y' = 11 - 3.72a
So the answer is 11 - 3.72a
(c) Use the quadratic formula to find the zeros for the position function y = 11t-1.86t^2. Roots are t = 0 and t = 5.913978495. The t = 0 is for the moment the rock was thrown, so the answer is t = 5.9 seconds.
(d) Plug in the value of t calculated for (c) into the velocity function, so:
y' = 11 - 3.72a
y' = 11 - 3.72*5.913978495
y' = 11 - 22
y' = -11
So the velocity is -11 m/s which makes sense since the total energy of the rock will remain constant, so it's coming down at the same speed as it was going up.
Answer: The volume of an irregularly shaped object is 0.50 ml
Explanation:
To calculate the volume, we use the equation:

Density of object = 
mass of object = 3.0 g
Volume of object = ?
Putting in the values we get:


Thus the volume of an irregularly shaped object is 0.50 ml
The density of the substance is the ratio of its mass over the space it occupies. In mathematical equation, this can be expressed as,
ρ = m / v
where ρ is density, m is mass, and v is volume.
Substituting the known values from the given,
ρ = (45 g) / (8 cm³)
ρ = 5.625 g/cm³
<em>ANSWER: 5.625 g/cm³</em>
Answer:
The final size is approximately equal to the initial size due to a very small relative increase of
in its size
Solution:
As per the question:
The energy of the proton beam, E = 250 GeV =
Distance covered by photon, d = 1 km = 1000 m
Mass of proton, 
The initial size of the wave packet, 
Now,
This is relativistic in nature
The rest mass energy associated with the proton is given by:


This energy of proton is 
Thus the speed of the proton, v
Now, the time taken to cover 1 km = 1000 m of the distance:
T = 
T = 
Now, in accordance to the dispersion factor;


Thus the increase in wave packet's width is relatively quite small.
Hence, we can say that:

where
= final width
Answer:
126.99115 g
