Step by step solution

01

Calculate Acceleration

To find the acceleration, use Newton's second law, \( \vec{F} = m \vec{a} \). Given \( \vec{F} = (6.00 \mathrm{~N}) \hat{\mathrm{i}} - (8.00 \mathrm{~N}) \hat{\mathrm{j}} + (4.00 \mathrm{~N}) \hat{\mathrm{k}} \) and \( m = 2.00 \mathrm{~kg} \), solve for \( \vec{a} \) by dividing each component of the force by the mass:\[\vec{a} = \left(\frac{6.00}{2.00}\right) \hat{\mathrm{i}} - \left(\frac{8.00}{2.00}\right) \hat{\mathrm{j}} + \left(\frac{4.00}{2.00}\right) \hat{\mathrm{k}} = (3.00) \hat{\mathrm{i}} - (4.00) \hat{\mathrm{j}} + (2.00) \hat{\mathrm{k}} \, \mathrm{m/s}^2\]
02

Calculate Angular Momentum

Angular momentum \( \vec{L} \) is given by \( \vec{L} = \vec{r} \times m\vec{v} \), where \( \vec{r} = (2.00 \mathrm{~m}) \hat{\mathrm{i}} + (4.00 \mathrm{~m}) \hat{\mathrm{j}} - (3.00 \mathrm{~m}) \hat{\mathrm{k}} \) and \( \vec{v} = -(6.00 \mathrm{~m/s}) \hat{\mathrm{i}} + (3.00 \mathrm{~m/s}) \hat{\mathrm{j}} + (3.00 \mathrm{~m/s}) \hat{\mathrm{k}} \). Use the cross product:\[\vec{L} = m \begin{vmatrix} \hat{\mathrm{i}} & \hat{\mathrm{j}} & \hat{\mathrm{k}} \ 2.00 & 4.00 & -3.00 \ -6.00 & 3.00 & 3.00 \end{vmatrix}\]Calculating the determinant:\[\vec{L} = 2.00 \left((4.00 \times 3.00) - (-3.00 \times 3.00)\right)\hat{\mathrm{i}} - \left((2.00 \times 3.00) - (-3.00 \times -6.00)\right)\hat{\mathrm{j}} + \left((2.00 \times 3.00) - (4.00 \times -6.00)\right)\hat{\mathrm{k}}\]\[= 2.00 \left(12 + 9\right)\hat{\mathrm{i}} - \left(6 - 18\right)\hat{\mathrm{j}} + \left(6 + 24\right)\hat{\mathrm{k}} \]\[= (42.00) \hat{\mathrm{i}} + (12.00)\hat{\mathrm{j}} + (30.00)\hat{\mathrm{k}} \, \mathrm{kg}\cdot\mathrm{m}^2/\mathrm{s}\]
03

Calculate Torque

Torque \( \vec{\tau} \) is given by \( \vec{\tau} = \vec{r} \times \vec{F} \). Use the given position \( \vec{r} = (2.00 \mathrm{~m}) \hat{\mathrm{i}} + (4.00 \mathrm{~m}) \hat{\mathrm{j}} - (3.00 \mathrm{~m}) \hat{\mathrm{k}} \) and force \( \vec{F} = (6.00 \mathrm{~N}) \hat{\mathrm{i}} - (8.00 \mathrm{~N}) \hat{\mathrm{j}} + (4.00 \mathrm{~N}) \hat{\mathrm{k}} \):\[\vec{\tau} = \begin{vmatrix} \hat{\mathrm{i}} & \hat{\mathrm{j}} & \hat{\mathrm{k}} \ 2.00 & 4.00 & -3.00 \ 6.00 & -8.00 & 4.00 \end{vmatrix}\]Calculate the determinant:\[\vec{\tau} = \left((4.00 \times 4.00) - (-3.00 \times -8.00)\right)\hat{\mathrm{i}} - \left((2.00 \times 4.00) - (-3.00 \times 6.00)\right)\hat{\mathrm{j}} + \left((2.00 \times -8.00) - (4.00 \times 6.00)\right)\hat{\mathrm{k}}\]\[= \left(16 - 24\right)\hat{\mathrm{i}} - \left(8 + 18\right)\hat{\mathrm{j}} + \left(-16 - 24\right)\hat{\mathrm{k}}\]\[= (-8.00) \hat{\mathrm{i}} - (26.00) \hat{\mathrm{j}} - (40.00) \hat{\mathrm{k}} \, \mathrm{N}\cdot\mathrm{m}\]
04

Calculate Angle Between Velocity and Force

To find the angle \( \theta \) between the velocity \( \vec{v} \) and force \( \vec{F} \), use the dot product formula: \[ \vec{v} \cdot \vec{F} = |\vec{v}| |\vec{F}| \cos(\theta) \]. First, calculate the magnitudes:\[ |\vec{v}| = \sqrt{(-6.00)^2 + 3.00^2 + 3.00^2} = \sqrt{36 + 9 + 9} = \sqrt{54} \]\[ |\vec{F}| = \sqrt{6.00^2 + (-8.00)^2 + 4.00^2} = \sqrt{36 + 64 + 16} = \sqrt{116} \]Compute the dot product:\[\vec{v} \cdot \vec{F} = (-6.00 \times 6.00) + (3.00 \times -8.00) + (3.00 \times 4.00) = -36 - 24 + 12 = -48\]Then, find \( \cos(\theta) \) and \( \theta \):\[\cos(\theta) = \frac{-48}{\sqrt{54} \times \sqrt{116}}\]Solve for \( \theta \):\[\theta = \cos^{-1}\left(\frac{-48}{\sqrt{54} \times \sqrt{116}}\right)\]Use a calculator to find \( \theta \), resulting in approximately \( 138.59^\circ \).

Key Concepts

These are the key concepts you need to understand to accurately answer the question.

Acceleration
Understanding acceleration is crucial to exploring Newton's second law of motion. Acceleration (\( \vec{a} \)) is how we measure how quickly an object changes its velocity.
According to Newton's second law, acceleration is produced when a force \( \vec{F} \) acts on a mass \( m \).
This is summarized by the formula:
  • \( \vec{a} = \frac{\vec{F}}{m} \).
In this specific problem, the force acting on the object is given as \( \vec{F} = (6.00 \, \mathrm{N}) \hat{\mathrm{i}} - (8.00 \, \mathrm{N}) \hat{\mathrm{j}} + (4.00 \, \mathrm{N}) \hat{\mathrm{k}}\), and the object's mass is \( 2.00 \, \mathrm{kg}\).
To find the acceleration, divide each component of the force by the mass:
  • i-component: \( 3.00 \, \mathrm{m/s}^2 \)
  • j-component: \(-4.00 \, \mathrm{m/s}^2 \)
  • k-component: \(2.00 \, \mathrm{m/s}^2 \)
Putting these together, the full acceleration vector is \( (3.00) \hat{\mathrm{i}} - (4.00) \hat{\mathrm{j}} + (2.00) \hat{\mathrm{k}} \, \mathrm{m/s}^2\).
Angular Momentum
Angular momentum (\( \vec{L} \)) is a fundamental concept in physics, often described as rotational equivalent of linear momentum.
For an object moving in a straight line, the angular momentum about a point is calculated using:
  • \( \vec{L} = \vec{r} \times m\vec{v} \),
where \( \vec{r} \) is the position vector, \( m \) is the mass, and \( \vec{v} \) is the velocity.
In the exercise, the position vector \( \vec{r} \) is \( (2.00 \, \mathrm{m}) \hat{\mathrm{i}} + (4.00 \, \mathrm{m}) \hat{\mathrm{j}} - (3.00 \, \mathrm{m}) \hat{\mathrm{k}}\), and the velocity \( \vec{v} \) is \( -(6.00 \, \mathrm{m/s}) \hat{\mathrm{i}} + (3.00 \, \mathrm{m/s}) \hat{\mathrm{j}} + (3.00 \, \mathrm{m/s}) \hat{\mathrm{k}}\).
To find the angular momentum, calculate the cross product:
\[\begin{vmatrix}\hat{\mathrm{i}} & \hat{\mathrm{j}} & \hat{\mathrm{k}} \2.00 & 4.00 & -3.00 \-6.00 & 3.00 & 3.00\end{vmatrix}\]By solving the determinant, the angular momentum vector results in:
  • \( (42.00) \hat{\mathrm{i}} + (12.00) \hat{\mathrm{j}} + (30.00) \hat{\mathrm{k}} \, \mathrm{kg} \cdot \mathrm{m}^2/\mathrm{s}\).
Torque
Torque (\( \vec{\tau} \)) describes how much a force acting on an object causes that object to rotate around a point or axis.
It is calculated using the formula:
  • \( \vec{\tau} = \vec{r} \times \vec{F} \),
where \( \vec{r} \) is the position vector and \( \vec{F} \) is the force vector.
From the exercise, the position vector \( \vec{r} \) is \( (2.00 \, \mathrm{m}) \hat{\mathrm{i}} + (4.00 \, \mathrm{m}) \hat{\mathrm{j}} - (3.00 \, \mathrm{m}) \hat{\mathrm{k}}\) and the force vector \( \vec{F} \) is \( (6.00 \, \mathrm{N}) \hat{\mathrm{i}} - (8.00 \, \mathrm{N}) \hat{\mathrm{j}} + (4.00 \, \mathrm{N}) \hat{\mathrm{k}}\).
To compute the torque, use the determinant:
\[\begin{vmatrix}\hat{\mathrm{i}} & \hat{\mathrm{j}} & \hat{\mathrm{k}} \2.00 & 4.00 & -3.00 \6.00 & -8.00 & 4.00\end{vmatrix}\]After simplification, the torque vector is:
  • \(-8.00 \hat{\mathrm{i}} - 26.00 \hat{\mathrm{j}} - 40.00 \hat{\mathrm{k}} \, \mathrm{N} \cdot \mathrm{m}\).
Vector Calculations
Dealing with vectors is essential in physics as they allow describing quantities that have both magnitude and direction.
In this problem, vectors such as displacement, velocity, and forces are represented in component form with the unit vectors \( \hat{\mathrm{i}} \), \( \hat{\mathrm{j}} \), and \( \hat{\mathrm{k}} \).
One key vector operation is the dot product, used to find the angle between two vectors \( \vec{a} \) and \( \vec{b} \).
The dot product formula is:
  • \( \vec{a} \cdot \vec{b} = |\vec{a}| |\vec{b}| \cos(\theta) \),
where \( \theta \) is the angle between them.
In this case, the velocity \( \vec{v} \) and the force \( \vec{F} \) allow finding \( \theta \) using their magnitudes and dot product.
  • Magnitude of \( \vec{v} \): \( \sqrt{54} \)
  • Magnitude of \( \vec{F} \): \( \sqrt{116} \)
  • Dot product: \( -48 \)
  • Calculate \( \cos(\theta) = \frac{-48}{\sqrt{54} \times \sqrt{116}} \)
Finally, solve for \( \theta \) using the inverse cosine function, resulting in approximately \( 138.59^\circ \).
