Chapter 2: Q14P (page 33)

An electron moving along the x axis has a position given by $x = 16 e^{- t}$ , where tis in seconds. How far is the electron from the origin when it momentarily stops?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The distance traveled by the electron is 5.9 m.

Step by step solution

01

Given data

The equation that governs the motion of the electron is given as,

$x = 16^{- t} m$

02

Understanding the concept of velocity and displacement.

The velocity can be found by taking the derivative of x, to get the time at which electrons stop. Using this time in the equation for displacement, the distance traveled by an electron can be calculated.

Formula:

$V = \frac{d x}{d t}$

03

Calculate the distance

Differentiating the given equation with respect to time, you can find

$V = \frac{d x}{d t} = \frac{d}{d t} (16 t) 脳 e^{- t} + 16 t 脳 \frac{d}{d t} (e^{- t})$

You get derivative,

$V = 16 (1 - t) e^{- t}$

You get V = 0, when t= 1 s, it means an electron stops at.

Plug this time, t = 1 in equation of position you get,

$x = 16 (1) e^{- 1} = 5.9 m$

Therefore, an electron stops at distance 5.9 m.

Two particles move along an x axis. The position of particle 1 is given by $x = 6 t^{2} + 3 t + 2$ (in meters and seconds); the acceleration of particle 2 is given by $a = - 8 t$ (in meters per second squared and seconds), and, at $t = 0$ , its velocity is $20 m / s$ . When the velocities of the particles match, what is their velocity?

Question:An automobile travels on a straight road for 40 kmat 30 km/hr. It then continues in same direction for another40 kmat 60 km/hr.(a) What is the average velocity of car during the full 80 kmtrip? (Assume that it moves in positive x direction) (b) What is the average speed? (c) Graph x versus tand indicate how the average velocity is found on the graph.

Raindrops fall 1700 mfrom a cloud to the ground. (a) If they were not slowed by air resistance, how fast would the drops be moving when they struck the ground? (b) Would it be safe to walk outside during a rainstorm?

A train started from rest and moved with constant acceleration. At one time, it was travelling30 m/s, and 160 mfarther on it was travelling 50 m/s. Calculate (a) the acceleration (b) the time required to travel 160 mmentioned (c) the time required to attain speed of 30 m/s(d) the distance moved from rest to the time the train had a speed of 30 m/s(e) Graph x vs t and v vs t for the train, from rest.

To set a speed record in a measured (straight line) distance d, a race car must be driven in one direction (in time $t_{1}$ ) and then in the opposite direction (in time $t_{2}$ ). (a) To eliminate the effects of wind and obtain the car鈥檚 speedin a windless situation, should we find the average of $\frac{d}{} t_{1}$ and $\frac{d}{t_{2}}$ (method 1) or should we divide d by the average of $t_{1}$ and $t_{2}$ ? (b) What is the fractional difference in the two methods when a steady wind blows along the car鈥檚 route and the ratio of wind speed $V_{w}$ to car鈥檚 speed $V_{c}$ is 0.0240.
