As per given equation we have

x = bt^u + ct^v

now as per the dimensional analysis we can say that dimension of right side of equation must be equal to left side of the equation

now as per left side of equation its dimension is same as length or meter

now we can say it should be meter on right side also

bt^u = M^0L^1T^0

b*T^8 = M^0L^1T^0

b = M^0L^1T^{-8}

similarly for other term we have

ct^v = M^0L^1T^0

c*T^7 = M^0L^1T^0

c = M^0L^1T^{-7}

<em>so above are the dimensions of b and c</em>

Two friends, barbara and neil, are out rollerblading. with respect to the ground, barbara is skating due south at a speed of 5.9
Semmy [17]
<span>As seen by Barbara, Neil is traveling at a velocity of 6.1 m/s at and angle of 76.7 degrees north from due west. Let's assume that both Barbara and Neil start out at coordinate (0,0) and skate for exactly 1 second. Where do they end up? Barbara is going due south at 5.9 m/s, so she's at (0,-5.9) Neil is going due west at 1.4 m/s, so he's at (-1.4,0) Now to see Neil's relative motion to Barbara, compute a translation that will place Barbara back at (0,0) and apply that same translation to Neil. Adding (0,5.9) to their coordinates will do this. So the translated coordinates for Neil is now (-1.4, 5.9) and Barbara is at (0,0). The magnitude of Neil's velocity as seen by Barbara is sqrt((-1.4)^2 + 5.9^2) = sqrt(1.96 + 34.81) = sqrt(36.77) = 6.1 m/s The angle of his vector relative to due west will be atan(5.9/1.4) = atan(4.214285714) = 76.7 degrees So as seen by Barbara, Neil is traveling at a velocity of 6.1 m/s at and angle of 76.7 degrees north from due west.</span>

In the equation vx^2=v0x^2+2ax(x-x0) what does the terms vx, v0x, x, and x0 stand for respectively?
tatuchka [14]

B. velocity at position x, velocity at position x=0, position x, and the original position

In the equation

v_{x}^{2} = v_{ox}^{2} +2 a x (x - x₀)

v_{x} = velocity at position "x"

v_{ox} = velocity at position "x = 0 "

x = final position

x_{o} = initial position of the object at the start of the motion

A truck collides with a car on horizontal ground. At one moment during the collision, the magnitude of the acceleration of the t
Mice21 [21]

Answer:

The magnitude of the acceleration of the car is 35.53 m/s²

Explanation:

Given;

acceleration of the truck, a_t = 12.7 m/s²

mass of the truck, m_t = 2490 kg

mass of the car, m_c = 890 kg

let the acceleration of the car at the moment they collided = a_c

Apply Newton's third law of motion;

Magnitude of force exerted by the truck = Magnitude of force exerted by the car.

The force exerted by the car occurs in the opposite direction.

F_c = -F_t\\\\m_ca_c = -m_t a_t\\\\a_c =- \frac{m_ta_t}{m_c} \\\\a_c = -\frac{2490 \times 12.7}{890} \\\\a_c = - 35.53 \ m/s^2

Therefore, the magnitude of the acceleration of the car is 35.53 m/s²

A spherical balloon is filled with gas at a rate of 4 cm 3 /s . at what rate is the radius r changing with with respect to time
Gnoma [55]
The volume of the sphere is given by V = 4/3 * pie * r^3. We seek dr/dt that the rate of change of the radius with respect to time.  
V = 4/3 * pie * r^3 
Since we know the rate at which the volume changes wrt time. We can plug it in to find dr/dt.
 dV/dt = 36pie. But dV/dt = 4/3 * pie * 3r^2 * dr/dt
 So we have that dr/dt = (dV/dt) / 4/3 * pie * 3r^2
 So dr/dt = (36pie)/ 4/3 * pie * 3(4)^2
 dr/dt = 113.112/ 201.0864 = 0.5624
