Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) The average velocity during t=2.00 s to t=3.00 s is 28.5 cm/s.

(b) Instantaneous velocity at t=2.00 s is 18.0 cm/s

(c) Instantaneous velocity at t=3.00 is 40.5 cm/s.

(d) Instantaneous velocity at t=2.50 s is 28.1 cm/s.

(e) Instantaneous velocity when particle is midway between t=2.00s to is 30.3 cm/s.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

x=9.75+1.50t3

02

To understand the concept of average velocity

The problem deals with the average velocity which is the displacement over the time. Also, it involves the instantaneous velocity of an object. It is the limit of an average velocity as the elapsed time approaches zero. Using a standard equation the average velocity in terms of displacement and time can be found. Further, instantaneous velocity can be found by taking derivative of equation of position.

Formula:

vavg=xt (i)

vinstantaneous=dxdt (ii)

03

(a) Calculate the average velocity during time interval t=2. s to t=3 s.

It is given that,

x=9.75+1.50t3

By plugging the values of t in the above equation we get,

x2=9.75+1.502.003=21.75cmx3=9.75+1.503.003=50.25cm

Using equation (i) the average velocity is,

vavg=xt=50.25-21.753.00-2.00=28.5cm/s

Average velocity is 28.5 cm/s

04

(b) Calculate the instantaneous velocity at t=2 s

Using equation (ii) the instantaneous velocity is

v=dxdt=4.5t2

At t=2.00sv=4.52.002=18.0cm/s

05

(c) Calculate the instantaneous velocity at t=3 s

Instantaneous velocity at t=3.00 s,

v=4.53.002=40.5cm/s

06

(d) Calculate the instantaneous velocity at t=2.5 s

Instantaneous velocity at t=2.50 s

v=4.52.502=28.1cm/s

07

(e) the instantaneous velocity when the particle is midway between its positions at t=2 s and t=3 s

Trying to find time of particle at midway betweenx2 and x3, we get,

xm=50.25+21.752=36cmxm=9.75+1.50tm336=9.75+1.50tm3tm=2.596s

Time at midway is 2.596 s

Thus, instantaneous speed at this time

v=4.52.5962=30.3cm/s

08

(f) Graph x vs t and indicate the answers

Straight line slope between t=2s to 3s gives answer of part (a) and slope of tangent at the required points would give the answers of (b), (c), (d), (e)

He is then able to maintain this top speed for the remainder of a 100 m race. (a) What is his time for the 100 m race? (b) In order to improve his time, the sprinter tries to decrease the distance required for him to reach his top speed. What must this distance be if he is to achieve a time of 10.0 s for the race?
