The velocity v→of a particle moving in the xy plane is given by v→=(6.0t-4.0t2)iÁåœ-(8.0)jÁåœ, with v→in meters per second and t(>0) in seconds. (a) What is the acceleration when t=3.0 s ? (b) When (if ever) is the acceleration zero? (c) When (if ever) is the velocity zero? (d) When (if ever) does the speed equal 10 m/s ?

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) The acceleration when time t=3.0 s is-18m/s2iÁåœ

(b) Acceleration is zero when t=0.75s

(c) Velocity can never be zero in the given situation.

(d) Speed is zero when t=2.2 s

Step by step solution

01

Given information

It is given that, velocityv→of particle moving in xy plane is,

v→=6.0t-4.0t2iÁåœ+8.0jÁåœ

Where,v→in m/s and t > 0s.

02

To understand the concept

This problem deals with a simple algebraic operation that involves calculation of the time, acceleration and the velocity at given time.By differentiating the given function of velocity, the acceleration of the given object can be found. This acceleration and velocity function can be used to answer the above questions.

Formula:

The acceleration in general can be written as,

a→=dv→dt

03

(a) To find the acceleration when t=3.0 s

Velocity v→of particle moving in xy plane is,

v→=6.0t-4.0t2iÁåœ+8.0jÁåœ

Now, using equation (i),

a→=d6.0t-4.0t2iÁåœ+8.0jÁåœdt=6.0-8.0tiÁåœ

The acceleration role="math" localid="1656476502415" aÁåœat t=3.0s is,

a→=6.0-8.0×3iÁåœa→=-18m/s2iÁåœ

04

(b) To find the time when acceleration is zero

It is given that,acceleration,

a→=6.0-8.0tiÁåœt=6.08.0=0.75s

05

(c) To find the zero velocity

Velocity v→=6.0t-4.0t2iÁåœ+8.0jÁåœcan never be zero, because the y component of velocitylocalid="1656477090473" vv→=8.0jÁåœcannot be zero.

06

(d) To find the time when speed equal 10 m/s

It is given that, velocityv→=6.0t-4.0t2iÁåœ+8.0jÁåœ

Therefore, the speed of particle is,

v=v→=6.0t-4.0t2iÁåœ+8.0jÁåœ=10m/s

Solving above equation for t,

6.0t-4.0t22+64=1006.0t-4.0t22+64=36

Taking square roots of both the sides,

6.0t-4.0t2=±6

Thus,

t=2.2 s
