Step by step solution

01

Approach to solving questionshould be as follow

Units of the unknown constant can be found by comparing the left and right side of the equations. Position, velocity and acceleration values can be found using the relationship between displacement, time, velocity and acceleration.

Find unit of c as left side of the equation represents the length so right side should be the length, so units of c and b are taken such that time unit will be canceled and remaining unit will be only of length.

For maximum coordinate v=0 . Using the givencondition, find time for maximum coordinate.

For given values of time find total distance travelled by particle by putting the values in the given equation.

Find velocity equation by taking derivative of given equation with respect to t and then putting the given times find velocities.

Similarly taking derivative of velocity equation find equation of acceleration and then putting the values of times find value of acceleration.

The formula for velocity at given time is as follow,

vt=dxdt(i)

The equation given in the question is,

x=ct2-bt3(ii)

02

(a) Determination of the unit of constant c

Unit of ct2is length then unit of cmust be length/t2or m/s2.

03

(b) Determination of the unit of b

Since bt3has unit of length so b must have unitlenght/t3 orm/s3.

04

(c) Determination of the time when particle reaches to maximum x position

At maximum coordinate velocity of particle is zero. Velocity equation can be found by taking derivative of the given equation.

vt=dxdt=dct2-bt3dt=2ct-3bt2

v=0at t=0. Also v=0for twhich can be found by

role="math" localid="1656407021590" 0=2ct-3bt2t=2c3b=23.032.0=1.0s

Thus, it takes t=1.0sto reach maximumx coordinate.

05

(d) Determination of the distance traveled between the given time interval

For t=4sparticle moves from x=0to x=1.0m, then turns around and goes back to a distance x4s,

Hence,

x4s=3.0ms24.0s2-2.0ms34.0s3=-80m

Thus, the total path length it travels is1.0m+1.0m+80m=82m.

06

(e) Determination of the displacement between the given time interval

Displacement is shortest distance between initial and final positions that is

x=x2-x1x1=0andx2=-80m.

Thus,

x=-80m

Thus, the displacement of the particle is -80m.

07

(f) Determinationof velocity of particle at given time instant

The velocity equation is,

v=2ct-3bt2=23ms2t32ms3t2=6.0ms2t6.0ms3t2

Fort=1.0s,

v1.0s=6.01.0-6.01.02=0

Thus, the velocity att=1.0s is 0m/s.

08

(g) Determinationof velocity of particle at given time instant

Similarly,fort=2.0s,

v2.0s=6.02.0-6.02.02=-12m/s

Thus, the velocity at t=2.0sis-12m/s

09

(h) Determination of velocity of particle at given time instant

For t=3.0s,

v3.0s=6.03.0-6.03.02=-36m/s

Thus, the velocity att=3.0s is -36m/s.

10

(i) Determination of velocity of particle at given time instant

Fort=4.0s,

v4.0s=6.04.0-6.04.02=-72m/s

Thus, the velocity att=4.0s is-72m/s.

11

(j) Determination of acceleration of particle at given time instant

Equation of acceleration can be found by taking derivative ofvwith respect tot.

a=dvdt=d2ct-3bt2dt=2c-6bt=23.0-62.0t=6.0-12t

Fort=1.0s,

a1.0s=6.0-121.0=-6.0m/s2

Thus, the acceleration at t=1.0sis-6.0m/s2.

12

(k) Determination of acceleration of particle at given time instant

For t=2.0s,

a2.0s=6.0-122.0=-18m/s2

Thus, the acceleration at t=2.0sis -18m/s2.

13

(l) Determination of acceleration of particle at given time instant

Fort=3.0s,

a3.0s=6.0-123.0=-30m/s2

Thus, the acceleration at t=3.0sis -30m/s2.

14

(m) Determination of acceleration of particle at given time instant

Fort=4.0s,

a4.0s=6.0-124.0=-42m/s2

Thus, the acceleration at t=4.0sis -42m/s2.
