A race car starts from rest and travels east along a straight and level track. For the first 5.0 s of the car鈥檚 motion, the eastward component of the car鈥檚 velocity is given by vx(t)=(0.860m/s3)t2. What is the acceleration of the car when vx=12.0m/s?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The acceleration of the car, whenvx=0.12m/s is0.64m/s2.

Step by step solution

01

Identification of the given data

The given data is listed below as,

  • The component in the east direction for the velocity of the car is,vx(t)=(0.860m/s3)t2
  • The velocity of the race car is,vx=0.12m/s
02

Use of velocity function for the determination of acceleration

It is known that the variation of the velocity with respect to time is known as acceleration. So, acceleration can be obtained by taking the derivative of the function of velocity with respect to time.

03

Differentiation of function of velocity with respect to time

Take the derivative of the function of velocity with respect to time to find the value of acceleration.

04

Determination of time for the velocity

Substitute the value of velocity in the expressionvx(t)=(0.860m/s3)t2,and we get

0.12m/s=0.860m/s3t2t=0.12m/s0.860m/s2=0.37s

Thus, the velocity will bevx=0.12m/s att=0.37s .

05

Determination of acceleration at .

Substitute the value of t in equation (1), and we get.

ax(3.735s)=1.72m/s2(0.37s)=0.64m/s2

Thus, the acceleration atvx=0.12m/s is0.64m/s2.

Air traffic controllers give instructions called 鈥渧ectors鈥 to tell airline pilots in which direction they are to fly. If these are the only instructions given, is the name 鈥渧ector鈥 used correctly? Why or why not?

You decide to visit Santa Claus at the north pole to put in a good word about your splendid behavior throughout the year. While there, you notice that the elf Sneezy, when hanging from a rope, produces a tension of 395.0Nin the rope. If Sneezy hangs from a similar rope while delivering presents at the earth鈥檚 equator, what will the tension in it be? (Recall that the earth is rotating about an axis through its north and south poles.) Consult Appendix F and start with a free-body diagram of Sneezy at the equator.

Planet Vulcan.Suppose that a planet were discovered between the sun and Mercury, with a circular orbit of radius equal to 2/3 of the average orbit radius of Mercury. What would be the orbital period of such a planet? (Such a planet was once postulated, in part to explain the precession of Mercury鈥檚 orbit. It was even given the name Vulcan, although we now have no evidence that it actually exists. Mercury鈥檚 precession has been explained by general relativity.)

How many gallons of gasoline are used in the United States in one day? Assume that there are two cars for every three people, that each car is driven an average of 10,000 miles per year, and that the average car gets 20 miles per gallon.

Water flows steadily from an open tank as in Fig. P12.81. The elevation of point 1 is 10.0 m, and the elevation of points 2 and 3 is 2.00 m. The cross-sectional area at point 2 is 0.0480 m2; at point 3 it is 0.0160 m2. The area of the tank is very large compared with the cross-sectional area of the pipe. Assuming that Bernoulli鈥檚 equation applies, compute (a) the discharge rate in cubic meters per second and (b) the gauge pressure at point 2.
