A faulty model rocket moves in the x-y-plane (the positive y-direction is vertically upward). The rocket’s acceleration has components ax(t)=αt2and ay(t)=β-γt, where α=2.50m/s4, and γ=1.40m/s3. At t = 0 the rocket is at the origin and has velocity v⇶Ä0=v0xi^+v0yj^with v0x = 1.0m/s and v0y = 7.0m/s. (a) Calculate the velocity and position vectors as functions of time. (b) What is the maximum height reached by the rocket? (c) What is the horizontal displacement of the rocket when it returns to y = 0?

Short Answer

Expert verified
  1. The position of the rocket is x=x0xt+112αt4and y=y0yt+12βt2-16γt3, the velocity as a function time is v0x+13αt3+v0y+βt-γt2.
  2. The maximum height of the rocket is 340.6 m
  3. The horizontal displacement of the rocket is 3.85x104 m

Step by step solution

01

Identification of given data

The given data can be listed below,

  • The value of constant is,α=2.50m/s4
  • The value of the constant for y-component is,β=9.0m/s2
  • The initial x-component of velocity of rocket is,v0x=1.0m/s
  • The initial y-component of velocity of rocket is,v0y=7.0m/s

Concept/Significance of position vector.

An object's position may be described using its position vector. It is essential to understand a body's location in order to accurately describe its motion.

03

(a) Determination of the velocity and position vectors as functions of time.

The velocity of the rocket is given by integrating acceleration which is given as,

∫v0vdv=∫v0vadt

Substitute all the values in the above,

The x-component of the velocity is calculated as,

vx-v0x=∫0tαt2dtvx=v0x+13αt2

The y-componentsof the rocket is given by,

∫v0vdvy=∫0tβ-γtdtvy-v0y=βt-12γt20tvy=v0y+βt-γt2

The velocity vector of the rocket is given by,

role="math" localid="1659684055862" v⇶Ät=v0x+13αt3+v0y+βt-γt2

The x-component of the position is given by,

vx=dxdtx-x0=∫0tvxdt

Substitute all the values in the above,

role="math" localid="1659683975821" x-x0=∫0tv0x+13αt3dt=voxt+112αt4x=x0+v0xt+112αt4

The y-component of position is given by,

y-y0=∫0tv0y+βt-12γt2dt=voyt+12βt2-16γt3y=y0+v0yt+12βt2-16γt3

Thus, the position of the rocket isx=x0+v0xt+112αt4 and y=y0+v0yt+12βt2-16γt3, the velocity as a function time is v0x+13αt3+v0y+βt-γt2.

04

(b) Determination of the maximum height reached by the rocket

At the maximum height, the vertical component of velocity is zero. The heights of the rocket is given by,

v0=v0y+βt-12γt20=v0y+βt-12γt2

Substitute all the values in the above,

0=7m/s+9m/s2t-121.40m/s2t2t=13.6s

Substitute all the values in the equation for y-component of position is given by,

y=7×13.6+9×13.622-1.4×13.636=340.6m

Thus, the maximum height of the rocket is 340.6 m

05

(c) Determination of the horizontal displacement of the rocket when it returns

The time of the rocket by the equations given by,

v0yt+12βt2-16γt3=016γt2-12βt-v0y=0

Substitute all the values in the above,

1.4016t2-129.0t-v0y=0t=20.73s

Put the value of time in the equation for x-component of position,x=1×20.73+2.5×20.73412=38500m=3.85×104m

The graph for trajectory is shown below as,

From graph it is clear that the x and y components are not symmetric.

Thus, the horizontal displacement of the rocket is 3.85x104 m

A medical technician is trying to determine what percentage of a patient’s artery is blocked by plaque. To do this, she measures the blood pressure just before the region of blockage and finds that it is 1.20×104Pa, while in the region of blockage it is role="math" localid="1668168100834" 1.15×104Pa. Furthermore, she knows that blood flowing through the normal artery just before the point of blockage is traveling at 30.0 cm/s, and the specific gravity of this patient’s blood is 1.06. What percentage of the cross-sectional area of the patient’s artery is blocked by the plaque?
