A particle starts from x0 = 10 m at t0 = 0 s and moves with the velocity graph shown in FIGURE EX2.6. a. Does this particle have a turning point? If so, at what time? b. What is the object鈥檚 position at t = 2 s and 4 s?

Short Answer

Expert verified

Part (a):

The particle has a turning point at t=1s.

Part (b):

The position of the particle at t=2sis 10m

The position of the particle at t=4sis 16m

Step by step solution

01

Given information

Initial position and time of the particle is x0=0mand t0=0s.

02

Part (a)

The turning point is a point in the motion where a particle reverses direction. The velocity instantaneously becomes zero at this point while the position is minimum or maximum.

Here, from the given graph it can be observed that the particle reverses the direction at t=1swhen vxchanges the sign.

Therefore, this particle has a turning point at t=1s.

03

Part (b)Position of the object at 2s.

The displacement of a particle x=xf-xibetween t0and tfis the area under the velocity-time curve from t0to tf.

Thus, the area under the velocity-time curve is

x=Area of the triangle between 0sand 1s+Area of the triangle between 1sand localid="1648469287677" 2s

localid="1648469404395" x=-121s4ms+121s4ms=0m

Now,

The position of a particle at t=2sis given by

xf=x0+area under the velocity curve between role="math" localid="1649476022081" 0sand role="math" localid="1649476029620" 2s

xf=10m+0m=10m

Therefore, the position of a particle at t=2sis 10m..

04

Position of a particle at t=4s.

The area under the velocity-time curve is

x=area of the triangle between 0sand 1s+ area of the triangle between 1sand 4s

localid="1648470524318" x=-121s4ms+123s12ms=-2+18=16m

Now,

The position of a particle at t=4sis given byxf=x0+x

area under the velocity curve between 0sand4s

xf=0+16m=16m

Therefore, the position of a particle at t=4sis 16m.

Most popular questions from this chapter

The position of a particle is given by the function x=2t3-6t2+12m, where t is in s. a. At what time does the particle reach its minimum velocity? What is Vxmin? b. At what time is the acceleration zero?

Careful measurements have been made of Olympic sprinters

in the 100 meter dash. A quite realistic model is that the sprinter鈥檚

velocity is given by

vx=a(1-e-bt)

where t is in s, vx is in m/s, and the constants a and b are characteristic

of the sprinter. Sprinter Carl Lewis鈥檚 run at the 1987

World Championships is modeled with a = 11.81 m/s and

b = 0.6887 s-1.

a. What was Lewis鈥檚 acceleration at t = 0 s, 2.00 s, and 4.00 s?

b. Find an expression for the distance traveled at time t.

c. Your expression from part b is a transcendental equation,

meaning that you can鈥檛 solve it for t. However, it鈥檚 not hard to

use trial and error to find the time needed to travel a specific

distance. To the nearest 0.01 s, find the time Lewis needed to

sprint 100.0 m. His official time was 0.01 s more than your

answer, showing that this model is very good, but not perfect.

FIGURE P2.46 shows a set of kinematic graphs for a ball rolling on a track. All segments of the track are straight lines, but some may be tilted. Draw a picture of the track and also indicate the ball鈥檚 initial condition.

FIGURE P2.45 shows a set of kinematic graphs for a ball rolling on a track. All segments of the track are straight lines, but some may be tilted. Draw a picture of the track and also indicate the ball鈥檚 initial condition.

For Questions 1 through 3, interpret the position graph given in each

figure by writing a very short 鈥渟tory鈥 of what is happening. Be creative!

Have characters and situations! Simply saying that 鈥渁 car moves

100 meters to the right鈥 doesn鈥檛 qualify as a story. Your stories should

make specific reference to information you obtain from the graph, such

as distance moved or time elapsed.
