A cart is propelled over a xyplane with acceleration componentsax=4.0m/s2anday=-2.0m/s2.Its initial velocity has components v0x=8.0m/s.Andv0y=12m/s.In unit-vector notation, what is the velocity of the cart when it reaches its greatest y coordinate?

Short Answer

The velocity of the cart when it reachesy=ymaxis32m/si^

Step by step solution

01

Given information

Acceleration along x and y axes are

ax=4.0m/s2ay=-2.0m/s2

Initial velocity components along x and y axis are

v0x=8.0m/sv0y=12m/s

02

To understand the concept

This problem is based on kinematic equations that describe the motion of an object with constant acceleration. Here, first kinematic equation for vertical motion to find the time for whichvmax=0m/s. Using the value obtained for time in the first kinematic equation along x axis, the velocity of the cart when it reaches its greatest y coordinate can be found.

Formula:

The final velocity in kinematic equation can be written as,

vf=v0+at (i)

Where, v0is the initial velocity

03

To find the time t when vmax=0m/s along y axis

The final velocity along y axis is given by,

vy=v0y+at0=12m/s+-2.0tt=6.0s

04

To find the velocity of the cart along x axis when it reaches itsgreatest y coordinate

The final velocity along x axis is given by

vx=v0x+atvx=8.0ms+4.0ms26.0svx=32m/s

A car travels around a flat circle on the ground, at a constant speed of12.0m/s. At a certain instant the car has an acceleration ofrole="math" localid="1657010334562" 3.00m/s2toward the east. What are its distance and direction from the center of the circle at that instant if it is traveling (a) clockwise around the circle and (b) counterclockwise around the circle?

The position vector r→=5.00ti^+(et+ft2)j^locates a particle as a function of time. Vector r→is in meters, tis in seconds, and factors e and f are constants. Figure 4-31 gives the angle θof the particle’s direction of travel as a function of t(θis measured from the positivedirection). What are (a) e, and (b) f, including units?

A projectile is fired with an initial speed v0=30.0m/sfrom level ground at a target that is on the ground, at distance R=20.0m, as shown in Fig. 4-59. What are the (a) least and (b) greatest launch angles that will allow the projectile to hit the target?

Figure 4-30gives the path of a squirrel moving about on level ground, from point A (at timet=0), to points B (at t=5.00min), C (at t=10.0min), and finally D (at t=15.0min). Consider the average velocities of the squirrel from point A to each of the other three points. Of them, what are the (a) magnitude and (b) angle of the one with the least magnitude and the (c) magnitude and (d) angle of the one with the greatest magnitude?

A 200-m -wide river has a uniform flow speed of1.1 m/sthrough a jungle and toward the east. An explorer wishes to leave a small clearing on the south bank and cross the river in a powerboat that moves at a constant speed of4.0 m/swith respect to the water. There is a clearing on the north bank82 mupstream from a point directly opposite the clearing on the south bank. (a) In what direction must the boat be pointed in order to travel in a straight line and land in the clearing on the north bank? (b) How long will the boat take to cross the river and land in the clearing?
