A particle moving along the x-axis has its velocity described by the function vx=2t2m/s, where t is in s. Its initial position is x0 = 1 m at t0 = 0 s. At t = 1 s what are the particle’s (a) position, (b) velocity, and (c) acceleration?

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) The position of the particle at t=1sis 1.67m.

(b) The velocity of the particle at t=1sis 2ms.

(c) The acceleration of the particle att=1sis4ms2.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

The velocity of a particle is given by a function vx=2t2ms.

The initial position of a particle is role="math" localid="1648217887311" xi=1m.

Timeti=0s,tf=1s.

02

Part (a)The position of the particle at t=1s.

Find ∫titfvxdt.

Substitute known values.

∫012t2dt=2t3301=213=23

The position of the particle is given byxf=xi+∫titfvxdt.

Substitute known values.

xf=1+23=1.67m

Therefore, the position of the particle att=1sis1.67m.

03

Part (b)The velocity of the particle at t=1 s.

To find the velocity of the particle at t=1s, substitute 1 for tinto the given function.

role="math" localid="1648219607504" vatt=1s=212=2ms

Therefore, the velocity of the particle att=1sis2ms.

04

Part (c)The acceleration of the particle at t=1s.

Acceleration is given by ax=dvxdt.

Differentiate the given function with respect to t.

ax=d2t2dt=22t=4t

Substitute 1 for tinto the obtained expression.

axatt=1s=41=4ms2

Therefore, the acceleration of the particle is 4ms2.

A ball is thrown straight up into the air. At each of the following

instants, is the magnitude of the ball’s acceleration greater than g,

equal to g, less than g, or 0? Explain.

a. Just after leaving your hand.

b. At the very top (maximum height).

c. Just before hitting the ground.

Bob is driving the getaway car after the big bank robbery. He’s going 50 m/s when his headlights suddenly reveal a nail strip that the cops have placed across the road 150 m in front of him. If Bob can stop in time, he can throw the car into reverse and escape. But if he crosses the nail strip, all his tires will go flat and he will be caught. Bob’s reaction time before he can hit the brakes is 0.60 s, and his car’s maximum deceleration is 10 m/s2. Does Bob stop before or after the nail strip? By what distance?

FIGURE EX2.31 shows the acceleration-versus-time graph of a particle moving along the x-axis. Its initial velocity is v0x = 8.0 m/s at t0 = 0 s. What is the particle’s velocity at t = 4.0 s?

Nicole throws a ball straight up. Chad watches the ball from a window 5.0 m above the point where Nicole released it. The ball passes Chad on the way up, and it has a speed of 10 m/s as it passes him on the way back down. How fast did Nicole throw the ball?

A jet plane is cruising at 300 m/s when suddenly the pilot turns the engines up to full throttle. After traveling 4.0 km, the jet is moving at a speed of 400 m/s. What is the jet’s acceleration, assuming it to be a constant acceleration?
