91Ó°ÊÓ

The acceleration of a motorcycle is given by ax(t)=At-Bt2, where A = 1.50m/s3and B = 0.120m/s4. The motorcycle is at rest at the origin at time. (a) Find its position and velocity as functions of time. (b) Calculate the maximum velocity it attains.

Short Answer

Expert verified

a) the position and the velocity as a function of time are At36-Bt412and At22-Bt33respectively and b) the maximum velocity attained by the motorcycle is 39.06 m/s.

Step by step solution

01

Identification of the given data

The given data can be listed below as,

  • The value of A is 1.50 m/s3.
  • The value of B is .0.120 m/s4
  • The motorcycle rests at the origin at the time t=0.
02

Significance of the Newton’s first law for the motorcycle

This law states that a body will continue to be in rest or in motion unless it is acted by an external force.

Differentiating the equation of motion along a straight line gives the velocity and integrating the velocity gives the position as the function of time. Moreover, with the help of the gathered velocity, the maximum velocity can be attained.

03

Determination of the position and the velocity and the maximum velocity

a) The given equation of the acceleration of a motorcycle can be expressed as:

ax(t)=At-Bt2… i)

Here,axt is the acceleration of the motorcycle with time, A and B are the constants and t are the time taken.

We know that,a=dvdt, hence, from equation i), we get-

a=dvdt∫dv=a∫dtv=∫At−Bt2dtv=At22−Bt33… ii)

We also know that, v=dxdt, hence, from equation ii), we get-

v=dxdt∫dx=∫vdtx=∫At22−Bt33dtx=At36−Bt412

Thus, the position and the velocity as a function of time areAt36-Bt412andAt22-Bt33respectively.

b) As we know that,a=dvdtwhich is 0, hence, we get-

2At2−3Bt23=0At−Bt2=0t=0andt=AB

As t=0 is negligible, the using the second value of t, we get-

Vatat=AB=A⋅AB2⋅12−B3⋅AB3=A32B2−A33B2… iii)

Hence, we can get

Substituting the value of A and B is the equation iii), we get-

Vmax=1.50m/s3320.12m/s42−1.50m/s3330.12m/s42Vmax=39.06m/s

Thus, the maximum velocity attained by the motorcycle is 39.06 m/s.
