The motion of a particle is defined by the relation x 5 t 3 2 9t 2 1 24t 2 8, where x and t are expressed in inches and seconds, respectively. Determine (a) when the velocity is zero, (b) the position and the total distance traveled when the acceleration is zero.

a)  t = 2.0 s,  b)  x_f = - 24.56 m,  Δx = 16.56 m

Explanation:

This is an exercise in kinematics, the relationship of position and time is indicated

          x = 5 t³ - 9t² -24 t - 8

a) ask when the velocity is zero

speed is defined by

         v =

let's perform the derivative

        v = 15 t² - 18t - 24

        0 = 15 t² - 18t - 24

let's solve the quadratic equation

       t =

       t1 = -0.8 s

      t2 = 2.0 s

the time has to be positive therefore the correct answer is t = 2.0 s

b) the position and distance traveled for a = 0

acceleration is defined by

       a = dv / dt

       a = 30 t - 18

       a = 0

       30 t = 18

       t = 18/30

       t = 0.6 s

we substitute this time in the expression of the position

       x = 5 0.6³ - 9 0.6² - 24 0.6 - 8

       x = 1.08 - 3.24 - 14.4 - 8

       x = -24.56 m

we see that all the movement is in one dimension so the distance traveled is the change in position between t = 0 and t = 0.6 s

the position for t = 0

       x₀ = -8 m

the position for t = 0.6 s

      x_f = - 24.56 m

the distance

     ΔX = x_f - x₀

     Δx = | -24.56 -(-8) |

     Δx = 16.56 m

potential energy is directly proportional to height.

more height = more potential energy.

greatest increase in height = greatest increase in potential energy

where are the points with the greatest increase in height ?

has to be c-e or d-e .

answer: i think he can see forward ten seconds and move forward ten seconds but giorno can undo his actions with ger.
