The position function x(t)of a particle moving along an x axis is x=4-6t2, with x in metres and t in seconds. (a) At what time does the particle momentarily stop? (b) Where does the particle momentarily stop? At what (c) negative time and (d) positive time does the particle pass through the origin? (e) Graph x vs t for range -5sec to +5sec. (f) To shift the curve rightward on the graph, should we include the term role="math" localid="1657352173540" +20t or -20t in ? (g) Does that inclusion increase or decrease the value of x at which the particle momentarily stops?

Short Answer

Expert verified
  1. Particle stops at t=0
  2. Position of particle when it stops is 4.0m.
  3. Negative time when particle passes through origin is t=-0.82s.
  4. Positive time when particle passes through origin ist=+0.82s
  5. v=0At larger values of x.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

x=4-6t2

02

To understand the concept

The problem involves differentiation of the quantity. Here the functional notation can be used for differentiation. To initiate, vand acan be calculated from the given equation by taking its derivative. By plugging the value of t=0 in equation of position to find position at this time. At x(t)=0 solve quadratic equation for t. The graph for x vs tcan be drawn. Also by adding 20twe can draw shifted graph.

Formula:

localid="1657352452944" v(t)=dx(t)dt

03

Find the time when the particle momentarily stops

Find velocity and acceleration from given position by taking derivative of it

v(t)=dx(t)dt=-12t

a(t)=dv(t)dt=-12

It is found that att=0 the velocity is 0.
04

To find where does the particle momentarily stop

x=4-6t2

Att=0 the position of particle isx(0)=4.0m

05

To find negative and positive time the particle pass through the origin

Solve x(t)=0

0=4.0-6.0t2

By solving this quadratic equation for the negative timet=-0.82s

06

To plot the graph x vs t for range   to  and to find what to shift the curve rightward on the graph

Alsothe positive time from above quadratic equation t=+0.82s

Both the graphs (on the left) as well as the shifted graph can be drawn. In both graphs time limits are-3≤t≤3.

The graph 2 can be drawn by adding20tinx(t)expression.

The slopes of graphs as zero, shift causes y=0at larger values of.x

An electric vehicle starts from rest and accelerates at a rate of2.0m/s2in a straight line until it reaches a speed of 20 m/s. The vehicle then slows at a constant rate of1.0m/s2until it stops. (a) How much time elapses from start to stop? (b) How far does the vehicle travel from start to stop?

In figure, a red car and a green car, identical except for the color, move toward each other in adjacent lanes and parallel to x axis. At time t=0, the red car is atxr=0and green car is at xg=220m. If the red car has constant velocity of 20 km/hr, the cars pass each other atx = 44.5 m, and if it has a constant velocity of40 km/hr, they pass each other atx = 76.6 m. What are (a) the initial velocity? (b) the constant acceleration of the green car?

(a) If a particle’s position is given by x=4-12t+3t2(where tis in sec and x in metres), what is its velocity at t=1sec? (b) Is it moving in positive or negative direction of x just then? (c) What is its speed just then? (d) Is the speed increasing or decreasing just then? (Try answering the next two questions without further calculations) (e) Is there ever an instant when the velocity is zero? If so, give the time t, if no, answer no. (f) Is there a time after t=3secwhen the particle is moving in negative direction of x? If so, give the time t, if no, answer no.

(f)What is its average velocity for the time interval from t=2sto t=4s? (g)Graph x vs t for0≤t≤4secand indicate how the answer for f can be found on the graph.
