An electron has a constant acceleration of ++3.2m/s2. At a certain instant, its velocity is +localid="1654238193944" 9.6m/s.What is its velocity (a) localid="1654238215362" 2.5searlier and (b)localid="1654238228852" 2.5slater?

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) The velocity of the electron2.5searlier is1.6m/s

(b) The velocity of the electron2.5slater is18m/s.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

v=9.6m/sa=3.2m/s2t=2.5m/s

02

Concept and formula used in the given question

The problem deals with the kinematic equation of motion in which the motion of an object is described at constant acceleration. Using kinematic equations, the velocity of the electron at given instants if the acceleration and time are known can be determined. The equation used is given below.

Formula:

The final velocity in kinematic equation is given by,

Vt=V0+(a×t)

(i)

WhereV0is the initial velocity, a is an acceleration and t is time.

03

(a) Calculation for the velocity2.5 s earlier

To find velocity2.5secearlier, considert=-2.5s.

Thus the velocity by equation (i) is given by,

Vf=9.6-3.2×2.5=1.6m/s

The velocity of the electron2.5searlier is1.6m/s

04

(b) Calculation for the velocity2.5 s later

To find velocity2.5secearlier, considert=-2.5s.

Thus the velocity by equation (i) is given by,

Vf=9.6+3.2×2.5=18m/s

The velocity of the electron2.5slater is 18m/s.

The brakes on your car can slow you at a rate of 5.2m/s2. (a)If you are going 137 km/ hand suddenly see a state trooper, what is the minimum time in which you can get your car under the90 km/ hspeed limit? (The answer reveals the futility of braking to keep your high speed from being detected with a radar or laser gun). (b)Graph x vs t and v vs t for such a slowing.

Two trains, each having a speed of 30 km/h, are headed at each other on the same straight track. A bird that can fly 60 km/hflies off the front of one train when they are 60 kmapart and heads directly for the other train. On reaching the other train, the bird flies directly back to the first train and so forth. (We have no idea why a bird would behave in this way). What is the total distance the bird travels before the trains collide?

Two particles move along an x axis. The position of particle 1 is given by x=6t2+3t+2(in meters and seconds); the acceleration of particle 2 is given bya=-8t(in meters per second squared and seconds), and, at t=0, its velocity is20m/s. When the velocities of the particles match, what is their velocity?
