Chapter 15, Problem 14CQ
With the use of a phase shift, the position of an object may be modeled as a cosine or sine function. If given the option, which function would you choose? Assuming that the phase shift is zero, what are the initial conditions of function; that is, the initial position, velocity, and acceleration, when using a sine function? How about when a cosine function is used?

- Lesson 4: A Qualitative Look at Rates By considering specific velocity-time functions of the motion of a particle as rate of change functions and then trying to draw 1) a rate of change function of the rate of change function and 2) a function that "undoes" the given rate of change function. Of course, we are talking about creating the acceleration-time function and the position-time functions, respectively, when supplied with a velocity-time function. It is assumed that you have some conceptual knowledge of the derivative as a rate of change function and the definite integral as an accumulation function. As you work through Exploration 4.1, try to reconcile both the physical aspects and the mathematics theory behind your answers. Exploration 4.1: A Qualitative Look at Rates Work with gaining a qualitative understanding of graphs of functions. In particular focus on the relationships between acceleration, velocity, and position vs. time in terms of rates of change of the functions…arrow_forwardA particle moves in a straight line along the x-axis. Its displacement is given by the formulas(t) = t2 − 4t2 + 7t. If displacement is in meters and time is in seconds, find: a.) The average velocity over the time interval [4,7]b.) The instantaneous velocity at t = 4.c.) The rate of change of velocity at t = 5.arrow_forward1. The velocity of a particle which moves along the a linear reference axis is given by v = 2+4t - 5t^5/2, t is in seconds while v is in meters per second. Evaluate the position, velocity and acceleration when t = 3 seconds. Assume an your own initial position and initial point in time. Further, set a variable for position as you see fitarrow_forward
- After a ball rolls off the edge of a horizontal table at time t = 0, its velocity as a function of time is given by v=1.2i9.8tj where v is in meters per second and t is in seconds. The balls displacement away from the edge of the table, during the time interval of 0.380 s for which the ball is in flight, is given by r=00.3803vdt To perform the integral, you can use the calculus theorem [A+Bf(x)]dx=Adx+Bf(x)dx You can think of the units and unit vectors as constants, represented by A and B. Perform the integration to calculate the displacement of the ball from the edge of the table at 0.380 s.arrow_forwardIn the particle under constant acceleration model, we identify the variables and parameters vxi, vxf, ax, t, and xf xi. Of the equations in Table 2.2, the first does not involve xf xi, the second does not contain ax, the third omits vxf, and the last leaves out t. So, to complete the set, there should be an equation not involving vxi. (a) Derive it from the others. (b) Use the equation in part (a) to solve Problem 23 in one step.arrow_forwardProblems 3 and 12 are paired. G A particle moves from position A to position C as shown in Figure P2.3.

- Please answer this NEATLY, COMPLETELY, and CORRECTLY for an UPVOTE. Topic: Rectilinear Kinematics of a Particle: Uniformly Accelerated Motion (UARM) To determine the depth of the well, Kenshin dropped a stone into the well. After 3 seconds, he heard a splash due to the impact of the stone on the water. Estimate the depth of the well. Assume that the initial position of the stone is at the ground and the “constant” speed of sound in air is 335.15 m/s. Also, treat Kenshin as a particle located on the ground.arrow_forwardMany handicapped individuals struggle using electric wheelchairs. Researchers used Bayes' rule to assess a “intelligent” robotic controller that attempts to record a wheelchair user's intent and assist in navigation. Consider the situation below. A wheelchair user may either (1) turn abruptly left and approach a door, (2) go straight to the opposite side of the room, or (3) turn slightly right and halt at a table. D (for door), S (straight), and T (for time) (for table). P(D) = 0.4, P(S) = 0.25, and P(T) = 0.35. The wheelchair has a joystick operated by a robot. The user directs the joystick straight 50% of the time while going through the door, 30% of the time when going straight, and 25% of the time when going to the table. What is her most likely destination, calculate based on P(D|J), P(S|J) and P(T|J)?arrow_forward1. At time t = 0, the velocity of cylinder A is 0.3 m/s down.
