At, a particle moving along an x axis is at position. The signs of particle鈥檚 initial velocity(at time) and constant acceleration a are, respectively, for four situations-(1)+,+(2)+,-(3)-,+(4)-,-In which situations will the particle (a) stop momentarily, (b) pass through the origin, and (c) never pass through the origin?

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) For the stop momentarily has situations 2 and 3.

(b) For the pass through the origin has situations 1 and 3.

(c) For the never pass through the origin situation 4.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

At time t=0, the initial position isrole="math" localid="1656991996634" x0=-20m

02

To understand the concept

The velocity is the time rate of change of displacement. The acceleration is the rate of change of velocity. The positive sign of velocity implies a positive change in displacement for the given time interval. The positive sign of acceleration implies a positive change in the velocity for the given time interval.

Formulae:

The final velocity is given by,

vf=v0+at

Here,role="math" localid="1656992492478" vfis the final velocity,v0is the initial velocity, is acceleration, andt is time.

vf2=v02+2ax

Here,x is displacement.

The displacement is given by,

x=v0t+12at2

03

(a) To describe the situation at which the particle stops momentarily

The particle stops momentarily, so its final velocity would be zero. i.e. vf=0

Hence,

vf=v0+atgives,

0=v0+at

t=-v0a

Here, time would be positive when either of v0or a will be negative.

This is possible only for situation 2 and 3.

04

(b) To describe situation at which the particle passes through the origin

Particle passes through the origin whenxf=0

Hence,

xf=x0+v0t+12at20=-20+v0t+12at2

This gives quadratic equation in terms of t as,

12at2+v0t+-20=0

We know that in

ax2+bx+c=0

Root of equation will be positive when, b2-4ac=0

Hence,v02-412a-20=0v02=-40a

This is possible only for situations 1 and 3.

05

(c) To describe a situation at which the particle never passes through the origin

Particle never passes through origin means it travels along negative x axis only.

And this is possible for situation 4 only.

: Most important in an investigation of an airplane crash by the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board is the data stored on the airplane鈥檚 flight-data recorder, commonly called the 鈥渂lack box鈥 in spite of its orange coloring and reflective tape. The recorder is engineered to withstand a crash with an average deceleration of magnitude 3400gduring a time interval of 6.50ms. In such a crash, if the recorder and airplane have zero speed at the end of that time interval, what is their speed at the beginning of the interval?
