Answer:
Explanation:
In a conductor, electric current can flow freely, in an insulator it cannot.
Metals such as copper typify conductors, while most non-metallic solids are said to be good insulators, having extremely high resistance to the flow of charge through them.
Most atoms hold on to their electrons tightly and are insulators.
The Law of Biot-Savart shows that the magnetic field of an infinitesimal current element decreases as 1/r2. Is there anyway you could put together a complete circuit (any closed path of current-carrying wire) whose field exhibits this same 1/r^2 decrease in magnetic field strength? Explain your reasoning.
Answer and Explanation:
There is no probability of obtaining such a circuit of closed track current carrying wire whose field of magnitude displays i.e. [tex]B \alpha \frac{1}{r^2}[/tex]
The magnetic field is a volume of vectors
And [tex]\phi\ bds = 0[/tex]. This ensures isolated magnetic poles or magnetic charges would not exit
Therefore for a closed path, we never received magnetic field that followed the [tex]B \alpha \frac{1}{r^2}[/tex] it is only for the simple current-carrying wire for both finite or infinite length.
When a particular wire is vibrating with a frequency of 6.3 Hz, a transverse wave of wavelength 53.3 cm is produced. Determine the speed of wave pulses along the wire.
Answer:
335.79cm/s
Explanation:
When a transverse wave of wavelength λ is produced during the vibration of a wire, the frequency(f), and the speed(v) of the wave pulses are related to the wavelength as follows;
v = fλ ------------------(ii)
From the question;
f = 6.3Hz
λ = 53.3cm
Substitute these values into equation (i) as follows;
v = 6.3 x 53.3
v = 335.79cm/s
Therefore, the speed of the wave pulses along the wire is 335.79cm/s
If, the limits of the visible spectrum are approximately 3000 A.U. and 5000 A.U. respectively. Determine the angular breadth of the first order visible spectrum produced by a plane diffraction grating having 12000 lines per inch when light is incident normally on the grating.
Answer:
θ₁ = 0.04º , θ₂ = 0.00118º
Explanation:
The equation that describes the diffraction pattern of a network is
d sin θ = m λ
where the diffraction order is, in this case they indicate that the order
m = 1
θ = sin⁻¹ (λ / d)
Trfuvsmod ls inrsd fr ll red s SI units
d = 12000 line / inc (1 inc / 2.54cm) = 4724 line / cm
the distance between two lines we can look for it with a direct proportions rule
If there are 4724 lines in a centimeter, the distance for two hundred is
d = 2 lines (1 cm / 4724 line) = 4.2337 10⁻⁴ cm
let's calculate the angles
λ = 300 10-9 m
θ₁ = sin⁻¹ (300 10-9 / 4,2337 10-4)
θ₁ = sin⁻¹ (7.08 10-4)
θ₁ = 0.04º
λ = 5000
θ₂ = sin-1 (500 10-9 / 4,2337 10-4)
θ₂ = 0.00118º

Use Coulomb’s law to derive the dimension for the permittivity of free space.
Answer:
Coulomb's law is:
[tex]F = \frac{1}{4*pi*e0} *(q1*q2)/r^2[/tex]
First, force has units of Newtons, the charges have units of Coulombs, and r, the distance, has units of meters, then, working only with the units we have:
N = (1/{e0})*C^2/m^2
then we have:
{e0} = C^2/(m^2*N)
And we know that N = kg*m/s^2
then the dimensions of e0 are:
{e0} = C^2*s^2/(m^3)
(current square per time square over cubed distance)
And knowing that a Faraday is:
F = C^2*S^2/m^2
The units of e0 are:
{e0} = F/m.
The electric field at the surface of a charged, solid, copper sphere with radius 0.220 mm is 4200 N/CN/C, directed toward the center of the sphere. What is the potential at the center of the sphere, if we take the potential to be zero infinitely far from the sphere?
Answer:
The potential at the center of the sphere is -924 V
Explanation:
Given;
radius of the sphere, R = 0.22 m
electric field at the surface of the sphere, E = 4200 N/C
Since the electric field is directed towards the center of the sphere, the charge is negative.
The Potential is the same at every point in the sphere, and it is given as;
[tex]V = \frac{1}{4 \pi \epsilon_o} \frac{q}{R}[/tex] -------equation (1)
The electric field on the sphere is also given as;
[tex]E = \frac{1}{4 \pi \epsilon _o} \frac{|q|}{R^2}[/tex]
[tex]|q |= 4 \pi \epsilon _o} R^2E[/tex]
Substitute in the value of q in equation (1)
[tex]V = \frac{1}{4 \pi \epsilon_o} \frac{-(4 \pi \epsilon _o R^2E)}{R} \ \ \ \ q \ is \ negative\ because \ E \ is\ directed \ toward \ the \ center\\\\V = -RE\\\\V = -(0.22* 4200)\\\\V = -924 \ V[/tex]
Therefore, the potential at the center of the sphere is -924 V

Alternating Current In Europe, the voltage of the alternating current coming through an electrical outlet can be modeled by the function V 230 sin (100t), where tis measured in seconds and Vin volts.What is the frequency of the voltage
Answer:
[tex]\frac{50}{\pi }[/tex]Hz
Explanation:
In alternating current (AC) circuits, voltage (V) oscillates in a sine wave pattern and has a general equation as a function of time (t) as follows;
V(t) = V sin (ωt + Ф) -----------------(i)
Where;
V = amplitude value of the voltage
ω = angular frequency = 2 π f [f = cyclic frequency or simply, frequency]
Ф = phase difference between voltage and current.
Now,
From the question,
V(t) = 230 sin (100t) ---------------(ii)
By comparing equations (i) and (ii) the following holds;
V = 230
ω = 100
Ф = 0
But;
ω = 2 π f = 100
2 π f = 100 [divide both sides by 2]
π f = 50
f = [tex]\frac{50}{\pi }[/tex]Hz
Therefore, the frequency of the voltage is [tex]\frac{50}{\pi }[/tex]Hz
A uniform crate C with mass mC is being transported to the left by a forklift with a constant speed v1. What is the magnitude of the angular momentum of the crate about point A, that is, the point of contact between the front tire of the forklift and the ground
Answer:
The angular momentum of the crate is [tex]M_{C} V_{1} d[/tex]
Explanation:
mass of the crate = [tex]M_{C}[/tex]
speed of forklift = [tex]V_{1}[/tex]
The distance between the center of the mass and the point A = d
Recall that the angular moment is the moment of the momentum.
[tex]L = P*d[/tex] ..... equ 1
where L is the angular momentum,
P is the momentum of the system,
d is the perpendicular distance between the crate and the point on the axis about which the momentum acts. It is equal to d from the image
Also, we know that the momentum P is the product of mass and velocity
P = mv ....equ 2
in this case, the mass = [tex]M_{C}[/tex]
the velocity = [tex]V_{1}[/tex]
therefore, the momentum P = [tex]M_{C}[/tex][tex]V_{1}[/tex]
we substitute equation 2 into equation 1 to give
[tex]L = M_{C} V_{1} d[/tex]
A solid conducting sphere is placed in an external uniform electric field. With regard to the electric field on the sphere's interior, which statement is correct
Complete question:
A solid conducting sphere is placed in an external uniform electric field. With regard to the electric field on the sphere's interior, which statement is correct?
A. the interior field points in a direction parallel to the exterior field
B. There is no electric field on the interior of the conducting sphere.
C. The interior field points in a direction perpendicular to the exterior field.
D. the interior field points in a direction opposite to the exterior field.
Answer:
B. There is no electric field on the interior of the conducting sphere.
Explanation:
Conductors are said to have free charges that move around easily. When the conductor is now placed in a static electric field, the free charges react to attain electrostatic equilibrium (steady state).
Here, a solid conducting sphere is placed in an external uniform electric field. Until the lines of the electric field are perpendicular to the surface, the free charges will move around the spherical conductor, causing polarization. There would be no electric field in the interior of the spherical conductor because there would be movement of free charges in the spherical conductor in response to any field until its neutralization.
Option B is correct.
There is no electric field on the interior of the conducting sphere.

A "laser cannon" of a spacecraft has a beam of cross-sectional area A. The maximum electric field in the beam is 2E. The beam is aimed at an asteroid that is initially moving in the direction of the spacecraft. What is the acceleration of the asteroid relative to the spacecraft if the laser beam strikes the asteroid perpendicularly to its surface, and the surface is not reflecting
Answer:
Acceleration of the asteroid relative to the spacecraft = 2ε[tex]E^{2}[/tex]A/m
Explanation:
The maximum electric field in the beam = 2E
cross-sectional area of beam = A
The intensity of an electromagnetic wave with electric field is
I = cε[tex]E_{0} ^{2}[/tex]/2
for [tex]E_{0}[/tex] = 2E
I = 2cε[tex]E^{2}[/tex] ....equ 1
where
I is the intensity
c is the speed of light
ε is the permeability of free space
[tex]E_{0}[/tex] is electric field
Radiation pressure of an electromagnetic wave on an absorbing surface is given as
P = I/c
substituting for I from above equ 1. we have
P = 2cε[tex]E^{2}[/tex]/c = 2ε[tex]E^{2}[/tex] ....equ 2
Also, pressure P = F/A
therefore,
F = PA ....equ 3
where
F is the force
P is pressure
A is cross-sectional area
substitute equ 2 into equ 3, we have
F = 2ε[tex]E^{2}[/tex]A
force on a body = mass x acceleration.
that is
F = ma
therefore,
a = F/m
acceleration of the asteroid will then be
a = 2ε[tex]E^{2}[/tex]A/m
where m is the mass of the asteroid.

Observe the process by which the grey and the red spheres are charged using the electrophorus. After each sphere is first charged, what are their charges
Answer:
The gray spheres is negatively charged while the red is positively charged
Explanation:
This is because theelectrophorus becomes less positive once it pulls some electrons away from the red sphere, but, the electrophorus is replaced on the slab and recharged by grounding it before it proceeds to charge the grey sphere, thereby giving it electrons and making it negatively charged
Answer:
The gray sphere has a positive charge and the red sphere has a positive charge.
Consider a conducting rod of length 31 cm moving along a pair of rails, and a magnetic field pointing perpendicular to the plane of the rails. At what speed (in m /s) must the sliding rod move to produce an emf of 0.75 V in a 1.75 T field?
Answer:
The speed of the rod is 1.383 m/s
Explanation:
Given;
length of the conducting rod, L = 31 cm = 0.31 m
induced emf on the rod, emf = 0.75V
magnetic field around the rod, B = 1.75 T
Apply the following Faraday's equation for electromagnetic induction in a moving rod to determine the speed of the rod.
emef = BLv
where;
B is the magnetic field
L is length of the rod
v is the speed of the rod
v = emf / BL
v = (0.75) / (1.75 x 0.31)
v = 1.383 m/s
Therefore, the speed of the rod is 1.383 m/s
An ice skater spinning with outstretched arms has an angular speed of 5.0 rad/s . She tucks in her arms, decreasing her moment of inertia by 11 % . By what factor does the skater's kinetic energy change? (Neglect any frictional effects.)
Answer:
K_{f} / K₀ =1.12
Explanation:
This problem must work using the conservation of angular momentum (L), so that the moment is conserved in the system all the forces must be internal and therefore the torque is internal and the moment is conserved.
Initial moment. With arms outstretched
L₀ = I₀ w₀
the wo value is 5.0 rad / s
final moment. After he shrugs his arms
[tex]L_{f}[/tex] = I_{f} w_{f}
indicate that the moment of inertia decreases by 11%
I_{f} = I₀ - 0.11 I₀ = 0.89 I₀
L_{f} = L₀
I_{f} w_{f} = I₀ w₀
w_{f} = I₀ /I_{f} w₀
let's calculate
w_{f} = I₀ / 0.89 I₀ 5.0
w_{f} = 5.62 rad / s
Having these values we can calculate the change in kinetic energy
[tex]K_{f}[/tex] / K₀ = ½ I_{f} w_{f}² (½ I₀ w₀²)
K_{f} / K₀ = 0.89 I₀ / I₀ (5.62 / 5)²
K_{f} / K₀ =1.12
Two carts are connected by a loaded spring on a horizontal, frictionless surface. The spring is released and the carts push away from each other. Cart 1 has mass M and Cart 2 has mass M/3.
a) Is the momentum of Cart 1 conserved?
Yes
No
It depends on M
b) Is the momentum of Cart 2 conserved?
Yes
No
It depends on M
c) Is the total momentum of Carts 1 and 2 conserved?
Yes
No
It depends on M
d) Which cart ends up moving faster?
Cart 1
Cart 2
They move at the same speed
e) If M = 6 kg and Cart 1 moves with a speed of 16 m/s, what is the speed of Cart 2?
0 m/s
4.0 m/s
5.3 m/s
16 m/s
48 m/s
64 m/s
Answer:
a) yes
b) no
c) yes
d)Cart 2 with mass [tex]\frac{M}{3}[/tex] is expected to be more faster
e) u₂ = 48 m/s
Explanation:
a) the all out linear momentum of an arrangement of particles of Cart 1 not followed up on by external forces is constant.
b) the linear momentum of Cart 2 will be acted upon by external force by Cart 1 with mass M, thereby it's variable and the momentum is not conserved
c) yes, the momentum is conserved because no external force acted upon it and both Carts share the same velocity after the reaction
note: m₁u₁ + m₂u₂ = (m₁ + m₂)v
d) Cart 2 with mass [tex]\frac{M}{3}[/tex] will be faster than Cart 1 because Cart 2 is three times lighter than Cart 1.
e) Given
m₁= M
u₁ = 16m/s
m₂ =[tex]\frac{M}{3}[/tex]
u₂ = ?
from law of conservation of momentum
m₁u₁= m₂u₂
M× 16 = [tex]\frac{M}{3}[/tex] × u₂(multiply both sides by 3)
therefore, u₂ = [tex]\frac{3(M .16)}{M}[/tex] ("." means multiplication)
∴u₂ = 3×16 = 48 m/s
A force of 44 N will stretch a rubber band 88 cm (0.080.08 m). Assuming that Hooke's law applies, how far will aa 11-N force stretch the rubber band? How much work does it take to stretch the rubber band this far?
Answer:
The rubber band will be stretched 0.02 m.
The work done in stretching is 0.11 J.
Explanation:
Force 1 = 44 N
extension of rubber band = 0.080 m
Force 2 = 11 N
extension = ?
According to Hooke's Law, force applied is proportional to the extension provided elastic limit is not extended.
F = ke
where k = constant of elasticity
e = extension of the material
F = force applied.
For the first case,
44 = 0.080K
K = 44/0.080 = 550 N/m
For the second situation involving the same rubber band
Force = 11 N
e = 550 N/m
11 = 550e
extension e = 11/550 = 0.02 m
The work done to stretch the rubber band this far is equal to the potential energy stored within the rubber due to the stretch. This is in line with energy conservation.
potential energy stored = [tex]\frac{1}{2}ke^{2}[/tex]
==> [tex]\frac{1}{2}* 550* 0.02^{2}[/tex] = 0.11 J

A 10 gauge copper wire carries a current of 23 A. Assuming one free electron per copper atom, calculate the magnitude of the drift velocity of the electrons.
Question:
A 10 gauge copper wire carries a current of 15 A. Assuming one free electron per copper atom, calculate the drift velocity of the electrons. (The cross-sectional area of a 10-gauge wire is 5.261 mm².)
Answer:
3.22 x 10⁻⁴ m/s
Explanation:
The drift velocity (v) of the electrons in a wire (copper wire in this case) carrying current (I) is given by;
v = [tex]\frac{I}{nqA}[/tex]
Where;
n = number of free electrons per cubic meter
q = electron charge
A = cross-sectional area of the wire
First let's calculate the number of free electrons per cubic meter (n)
Known constants:
density of copper, ρ = 8.95 x 10³kg/m³
molar mass of copper, M = 63.5 x 10⁻³kg/mol
Avogadro's number, Nₐ = 6.02 x 10²³ particles/mol
But;
The number of copper atoms, N, per cubic meter is given by;
N = (Nₐ x ρ / M) -------------(ii)
Substitute the values of Nₐ, ρ and M into equation (ii) as follows;
N = (6.02 x 10²³ x 8.95 x 10³) / 63.5 x 10⁻³
N = 8.49 x 10²⁸ atom/m³
Since there is one free electron per copper atom, the number of free electrons per cubic meter is simply;
n = 8.49 x 10²⁸ electrons/m³
Now let's calculate the drift electron
Known values from question:
A = 5.261 mm² = 5.261 x 10⁻⁶m²
I = 23A
q = 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹C
Substitute these values into equation (i) as follows;
v = [tex]\frac{I}{nqA}[/tex]
v = [tex]\frac{23}{8.49*10^{28} * 1.6 *10^{-19} * 5.261*10^{-6}}[/tex]
v = 3.22 x 10⁻⁴ m/s
Therefore, the drift electron is 3.22 x 10⁻⁴ m/s
A skater on ice with arms extended and one leg out spins at 3 rev/s. After he draws his arms and the leg in, his moment of inertia is reduced to 1/2. What is his new angular speed
Answer:
The new angular speed is [tex]w = 6 \ rev/s[/tex]
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The angular velocity of the spin is [tex]w_o = 3 \ rev/s[/tex]
The original moment of inertia is [tex]I_o[/tex]
The new moment of inertia is [tex]I =\frac{I_o}{2}[/tex]
Generally angular momentum is mathematically represented as
[tex]L = I * w[/tex]
Now according to the law of conservation of momentum, the initial momentum is equal to the final momentum hence the angular momentum is constant so
[tex]I * w = constant[/tex]
=> [tex]I_o * w _o = I * w[/tex]
where w is the new angular speed
So
[tex]I_o * 3 = \frac{I_o}{2} * w[/tex]
=> [tex]w = \frac{3 * I_o}{\frac{I_o}{2} }[/tex]
=> [tex]w = 6 \ rev/s[/tex]
An aging coyote cannot run fast enough to catch a roadrunner. He purchases on eBay a set of jet-powered roller skates, which provide a constant horizontal acceleration of 15.0 m/s2. The coyote starts at rest 70.0 m from the edge of a cliff at the instant the roadrunner zips past in the direction of the cliff.
Required:
a. Determine the minimum constant speed the roadrunner must have to reach the cliff before the coyote. At the edge of the cliff, the roadrunner escapes by making a sudden turn, while the coyote continues straight ahead. The coyote’s skates remain horizontal and continue to operate while he is in flight.
b. The cliff is 100 m above the flat floor of the desert. Determine how far from the base of the cliff the coyote lands.
c. Determine the components of the coyote’s impact velocity
Answer:
a) v_correcaminos = 22.95 m / s , b) x = 512.4 m ,
c) v = (45.83 i ^ -109.56 j ^) m / s
Explanation:
We can solve this exercise using the kinematics equations
a) Let's find the time or the coyote takes to reach the cliff, let's start by finding the speed on the cliff
v² = v₀² + 2 a x
they tell us that the coyote starts from rest v₀ = 0 and its acceleration is a=15 m / s²
v = √ (2 15 70)
v = 45.83 m / s
with this value calculate the time it takes to arrive
v = v₀ + a t
t = v / a
t = 45.83 / 15
t = 3.05 s
having the distance to the cliff and the time, we can find the constant speed of the roadrunner
v_ roadrunner = x / t
v_correcaminos = 70 / 3,05
v_correcaminos = 22.95 m / s
b) if the coyote leaves the cliff with the horizontal velocity v₀ₓ = 45.83 m / s, they ask how far it reaches.
Let's start by looking for the time to reach the cliff floor
y = y₀ + [tex]v_{oy}[/tex] t - ½ g t²
in this case y = 0 and the height of the cliff is y₀ = 100 m
0 = 100 + 45.83 t - ½ 9.8 t²
t² - 9,353 t - 20,408 = 0
we solve the quadratic equation
t = [9,353 ±√ (9,353² + 4 20,408)] / 2
t = [9,353 ± 13] / 2
t₁ = 11.18 s
t₂ = -1.8 s
Since time must be a positive quantity, the answer is t = 11.18 s
we calculate the horizontal distance traveled
x = v₀ₓ t
x = 45.83 11.18
x = 512.4 m
c) speed when it hits the ground
vₓ = v₀ₓ = 45.83 m / s
we look for vertical speed
v_{y} = [tex]v_{oy}[/tex] - gt
v_{y} = 0 - 9.8 11.18
v_{y} = - 109.56 m / s
v = (45.83 i ^ -109.56 j ^) m / s
Calculate the ideal banking angle in degrees for a gentle turn of 1.88 km radius on a highway with a 136.3 km/hr speed limit, assuming everyone travels at the speed limit.
Answer:
Ф = 4.4°Explanation:
given:
radius (r) = 1.88 km
velocity (v) = 136.3 km/hr
required:
banking angle ∡ ?
first:
convert 1.88 km to m = 1.88km * 1000m / 1km
r = 1880 m
convert velocity v = 136.3 km/hr to m/s = 136.3 km/hr * (1000 m/ 3600s)
v = 37.86 m/s
now.. calculate the angle
Ф = inv tan (v² / r * g) we know that gravity = 9.8 m/s²
Ф = inv tan (37.86² / (1880 * 9.8))
Ф = 4.4°
Briefly describe the relationship between an equipotential surface and an electric field, and use this to explain why we will plot equipotential lines.
Answer:
E = - dV/dx
Explanation:
Las superficies equipòtenciales son superficie donde el potencial eléctrico es constante por lo cual nos podemos desplazaren ella sin realizar nigun trabajo.
El campo electrico es el campo que existen algún punto en el espacio creado por alguna ddistribucion de carga.
De los antes expuesto las dos magnitudes están relacionadas
E = - dV/dx
por lo cual el potenical es el gradiente del potencial eléctrico.
Como el campo eléctrico sobre un superficie equipotenciales constante, podemos colocar una punta de prueba con un potencial dado y seguir la linea que de una diferencia de potencial constar, lo cual permite visualizar las forma de cada linea equipotencial
2. A pair of narrow, parallel slits sep by 0.25 mm is illuminated by 546 nm green light. The interference pattern is observed on a screen situated at 1.3 m away from the slits. Calculate the distance from the central maximum to the
Answer:
for the first interference m = 1 y = 2,839 10-3 m
for the second interference m = 2 y = 5,678 10-3 m
Explanation:
The double slit interference phenomenon, for constructive interference is described by the expression
d sin θ = m λ
where d is the separation between the slits, λ the wavelength and m an integer that corresponds to the interference we see.
In these experiments in general the observation screen is L >> d, let's use trigonometry to find the angles
tan θ = y / L
with the angle it is small,
tan θ = sin θ / cos θ = sin θ
we substitute
sin θ = y / L
d y / L = m λ
the distance between the central maximum and an interference line is
y = m λ L / d
let's reduce the magnitudes to the SI system
λ = 546 nm = 546 10⁻⁹ m
d = 0.25 mm = 0.25 10⁻³ m
let's substitute the values
y = m 546 10⁻⁹ 1.3 / 0.25 10⁻³
y = m 2,839 10⁻³
the explicit value for a line depends on the value of the integer m, for example
for the first interference m = 1
the distance from the central maximum to the first line is y = 2,839 10-3 m
for the second interference m = 2
the distance from the central maximum to the second line is y = 5,678 10-3 m
6. Two forces of 50 N and 30 N, respectively, are acting on an object. Find the net force (in
N) on the object if
the forces are acting in the same direction
b. the forces are acting in opposite directions.
Answer:
same direction = 80 (n)
opposite direction = 20 (n) going one direction
Explanation:
same direction means they are added to each other
and opposite means acting on eachother
Muons are elementary particles that are formed high in the atmosphere by the interactions of cosmic rays with atomic nuclei. Muons are radioactive and have average lifetimes of about two-millionths of a second. Even though they travel at almost the speed of light, they have so far to travel through the atmosphere that very few should be detected at sea level - at least according to classical physics. Laboratory measurements, however, show that muons in great number do reach the earth's surface. What is the explanation?
Answer:
Muons reach the earth in great amount due to the relativistic time dilation from an earthly frame of reference.
Explanation:
Muons travel at exceedingly high speed; close to the speed of light. At this speed, relativistic effect starts to take effect. The effect of this is that, when viewed from an earthly reference frame, their short half life of about two-millionth of a second is dilated. The dilated time, due to relativistic effects on time for travelling at speed close to the speed of light, gives the muons an extended relative travel time before their complete decay. So in reality, the muon do not have enough half-life to survive the distance from their point of production high up in the atmosphere to sea level, but relativistic effect due to their near-light speed, dilates their half-life; enough for them to be found in sufficient amount at sea level.
An elastic band is hung on a hook and a mass is hung on the lower end of the band. When the mass is pulled downward and then released, it vibrates vertically. The equation of motion is s = 9 cos(t) + 9 sin(t), t ≥ 0, where s is measured in centimeters and t in seconds. (Take the positive direction to be downward.) (a) Find the velocity and acceleration at time t.
Answer:
v(t) = s′(t) = −9sin(t)+9cos(t)
a(t) = v′(t) = −9cos(t) −9sin(t)
Explanation:
Given that
s = 9 cos(t) + 9 sin(t), t ≥ 0
Then acceleration and velocity is
v(t) = s′(t) = −9sin(t)+9cos(t)
a(t) = v′(t) = −9cos(t) −9sin(t)
