For this problem, we use the conservation of momentum as a solution. Since momentum is mass times velocity, then,

m₁v₁ + m₂v₂ = m₁v₁' + m₂v₂'
where
v₁ and v₂ are initial velocities of cart A and B, respectively
v₁' and v₂' are final velocities of cart A and B, respectively
m₁ and m₂ are masses of cart A and B, respectively

(7 kg)(0 m/s) + (3 kg)(0 m/s) = (7 kg)(v₁') + (3 kg)(6 m/s)
Solving for v₁',
v₁' = -2.57 m/s

<em>Therefore, the speed of cart A is at 2.57 m/s at the direction opposite of cart B.</em>

The position of a particle moving along the x-axis varies with time according to x(t) = 5.0t^2 − 4.0t^3 m. Find (a) the velocity
KengaRu [80]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

(a) v(t) = [10.0t - 12.0t²] m/s  and a(t) = [10.0 - 24.0t ] m/s² respectively

(b) -28.0m/s and -38.0m/s² respectively

(c) 0.83s

(d) 0.83s

(e) x(t)  = 1.1573 m           [where t = 0.83s]

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

The position equation is given by;

x(t) = 5.0t² - 4.0t³ m           --------------------(i)

(a) Since velocity is the time rate of change of position, the velocity, v(t), of the particle as a function of time is calculated by finding the derivative of equation (i) as follows;

v(t) = dx(t) / dt = \frac{dx}{dt} = \frac{d}{dt} [ 5.0t² - 4.0t³ ]

v(t) = 10.0t - 12.0t²     --------------------------------(ii)

Therefore, the velocity as a function of time is v(t) = 10.0t - 12.0t² m/s

Also, since acceleration is the time rate of change of velocity, the acceleration, a(t), of the particle as a function of time is calculated by finding the derivative of equation (ii) as follows;

a(t) = dx(t) / dt = \frac{dv}{dt} =  \frac{d}{dt} [ 10.0t - 12.0t² ]

a(t) = 10.0 - 24.0t             --------------------------------(iii)

Therefore, the acceleration as a function of time is a(t) = 10.0 - 24.0t m/s²

(b) To calculate the velocity at time t = 2.0s, substitute the value of t = 2.0 into equation (ii) as follows;

=> v(t) =  10.0t - 12.0t²

=> v(2.0) = 10.0(2) - 12.0(2)²

=> v(2.0) = 20.0 - 48.0

=> v(2.0) = -28.0m/s

Also, to calculate the acceleration at time t = 2.0s, substitute the value of t = 2.0 into equation (iii) as follows;

=> a(t) = 10.0 - 24.0t

=> a(2.0) = 10.0 - 24.0(2)

=> a(2.0) = 10.0 - 48.0

=> a(2.0) = -38.0 m/s²

Therefore, the velocity and acceleration at t = 2.0s are respectively -28.0m/s and -38.0m/s²

(c) The time at which the position is maximum is the time at which there is no change in position or the change in position is zero. i.e dx / dt = 0. It also means the time at which the velocity is zero. (since velocity is dx / dt)

Therefore, substitute v = 0 into equation (ii) and solve for t as follows;

=> v(t) = 10.0t - 12.0t²

=> 0 = 10.0t - 12.0t²

=> 0 = ( 10.0 - 12.0t ) t

=> t = 0            or             10.0 - 12.0t = 0

=> t = 0            or             10.0 = 12.0t

=> t = 0            or             t = 10.0 / 12.0

=> t = 0            or             t = 0.83s

At t=0 or t = 0.83s, the position of the particle will be maximum.

To get the more correct answer, substitute t = 0 and t = 0.83 into equation (i) as follows;

<em>Substitute t = 0 into equation (i)</em>

x(t) = 5.0(0)² - 4.0(0)³ = 0

At t = 0; x = 0

<em>Substitute t = 0.83s into equation (i)</em>

x(t) = 5.0(0.83)² - 4.0(0.83)³

x(t) = 5.0(0.6889) - 4.0(0.5718)

x(t) = 3.4445 - 2.2872

x(t)  = 1.1573 m

At t = 0.83; x = 1.1573 m

Therefore, since the value of x at t = 0.83s is 1.1573m is greater than the value of x at t = 0 which is 0m, then the time at which the position is at maximum is 0.83s

(d) The velocity will be zero when the position is maximum. That means that, it will take the same time calculated in (c) above for the velocity to be zero. i.e t = 0.83s

(e) The maximum position function is found when t = 0.83s as shown in (c) above;

Substitute t = 0.83s into equation (i)

x(t) = 5.0(0.83)² - 4.0(0.83)³

x(t) = 5.0(0.6889) - 4.0(0.5718)

x(t) = 3.4445 - 2.2872

x(t)  = 1.1573 m            [where t = 0.83s]

abruzzese [7]

Case A :

A .75 kg 65 N/m 1.2 m

m = mass of car = 0.75 kg

k = spring constant of the spring = 65 N/m

h = height of the hill = 1.2 m

x = compression of spring = 0.25 m

Using conservation of energy between Top of hill and Bottom of hill

Total energy at Top of hill = Total energy at Bottom of hill

spring energy + potential energy = kinetic energy

(0.5) k x² + mgh = (0.5) m v²

(0.5) (65) (0.25)² + (0.75 x 9.8 x 1.2) = (0.5) (0.75) v²

v = 5.4 m/s



Case B :

B .60 kg 35 N/m .9 m

m = mass of car = 0.60 kg

k = spring constant of the spring = 35 N/m

h = height of the hill = 0.9 m

x = compression of spring = 0.25 m

Using conservation of energy between Top of hill and Bottom of hill

Total energy at Top of hill = Total energy at Bottom of hill

spring energy + potential energy = kinetic energy

(0.5) k x² + mgh = (0.5) m v²

(0.5) (35) (0.25)² + (0.60 x 9.8 x 0.9) = (0.5) (0.60) v²

v = 4.6 m/s




Case C :

C .55 kg 40 N/m 1.1 m

m = mass of car = 0.55 kg

k = spring constant of the spring = 40 N/m

h = height of the hill = 1.1 m

x = compression of spring = 0.25 m

Using conservation of energy between Top of hill and Bottom of hill

Total energy at Top of hill = Total energy at Bottom of hill

spring energy + potential energy = kinetic energy

(0.5) k x² + mgh = (0.5) m v²

(0.5) (40) (0.25)² + (0.55 x 9.8 x 1.1) = (0.5) (0.55) v²

v = 5.1 m/s




Case D :

D .84 kg 32 N/m .95 m

m = mass of car = 0.84 kg

k = spring constant of the spring = 32 N/m

h = height of the hill = 0.95 m

x = compression of spring = 0.25 m

Using conservation of energy between Top of hill and Bottom of hill

Total energy at Top of hill = Total energy at Bottom of hill

spring energy + potential energy = kinetic energy

(0.5) k x² + mgh = (0.5) m v²

(0.5) (32) (0.25)² + (0.84 x 9.8 x 0.95) = (0.5) (0.84) v²

v = 4.6 m/s


hence closest is in case C at 5.1 m/s

Imagine a small child whose legs are half as long as her parent’s legs. If her parent can walk at maximum speed V, at what maxim
AnnZ [28]

Answer:

\boxed{v=\frac {V}{\sqrt {2}}}

Explanation:

We know that speed is given by dividing distance by time or multiplying length and frequency. The speed of the father will be given by Lf where L is the length of the father’s leg ad f is the frequency.

We know that frequency of simple pendulum follows that f=\frac {1}{2\pi} \sqrt {\frac {g}{l}}

Now, the speed of the father will be V=Lf= L\times (\frac {1}{2\pi} \sqrt {\frac {g}{l}}) while for the child the speed will be v=\frac {L}{2}\times (\frac {1}{2\pi} \sqrt {\frac {g}{0.5l}})

The ratio of the father’s speed to the child’s speed will be

\frac {V}{v}=\frac {\frac {L}{2}\times (\frac {1}{2\pi} \sqrt {\frac {g}{0.5l}})}{ L\times (\frac {1}{2\pi} \sqrt {\frac {g}{l}})}\\\frac {V}{v}=\frac {\sqrt {2}}{2}\\\boxed{v=\frac {V}{\sqrt {2}}}
