A 2.0kgparticle moves along an xaxis, being propelled by a variable force directed along that axis. Its position is given by role="math" localid="1657014461331" x=3.0m+(4.0m/s)t+ct2-(2.0m/s)t3, with xin meters and tin seconds. The factor cis a constant. Atthe force on the particle has a magnitude of 36Nand is in the negative direction of the axis. What is c?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The value of constant c is+9.0

Step by step solution

01

The given data

  1. Mass of particle, m=2.0kg
  2. Position of a particle in expression, x=3.0+4t+ct2-2t3
  3. Magnitude of force at t= 3.0 s, F=-36Nwhich is in a negative direction
02

Understanding the concept of motion

The acceleration of the object is equal to the time rate of change of velocity. The acceleration can be found by differentiating the velocity vector with respect to time or differentiating the displacement vector twice with respect to time.

As we are given the function for the position of a particle if we differentiate that for time, we will get twice the acceleration. As we have got the value of force at a particular time, using Newton’s 2nd law, we can find the value for c.

Formula:

The force on a body due to Newton’s second law,F→=ma→ (i)

Here, F→is net force, is mass of the object, anda→is the acceleration.

The acceleration of a body in motion,a=d2xdt2 (ii)

Calculation of the value of constant c

Taking the derivative of the given position equationx=3.0+4t+ct2-2t3with respect to time, we get the velocity as follows:

Some insects can walk below a thin rod (such as a twig) by hanging from it. Suppose that such an insect has mass mand hangs from a horizontal rod as shown in Figure, with angleθ=40°its six legs are all under the same tension, and the leg sections nearest the body are horizontal. (a) What is the ratio of the tension in each tibia (forepart of a leg) to the insect’s weight? (b) If the insect straightens out its legs somewhat, does the tension in each tibia increase, decrease, or stay the same?

Using a rope that will snap if the tension in it exceeds387 N you need to lower a bundle of old roofing material weighing449 Nfrom a point 6.1 mabove the ground. (a)What magnitude of the bundle’s acceleration will put the rope on the verge of snapping? (b) At that acceleration, with what speed would the bundle hit the ground?

A worker drags a crate across a factory floor by pulling on a rope tied to the crate. The worker exerts a force of magnitude F=450Non the rope, which is inclined at an upward angle θ=38°to the horizontal, and the floor exerts a horizontal force of magnitude f=125Nthat opposes the motion. Calculate the magnitude of the acceleration of the crate if (a) its mass is 310kgand (b) its weight is 310N.

Figure shows three blocks attached by cords that loop over frictionless pulleys. Block B lies on a frictionless table; the masses aremA=6.00kg,mB=8.00kg, andmc=10.0kg. When the blocks are released, what is the tension in the cord at the right?

(a) An 11.0 kgSalami is supported by a cord that runs to a spring scale, which is supported by a cord hung from the ceiling (Figure-a). What is the reading on the scale, which is marked in weight units? (b) In Figure-bthe salami is supported by a cord that runs around a pulley and to a scale. The opposite end of the scale is attached by a cord to a wall. What is the reading on the scale? (c) In Figure-c the wall has been replaced with second11.0 kg salami, and the assembly is stationary. What is the reading on the scale?
