Question

You are operating a radio-controlled model car on a vacant tennis court. Your position is the origin oc coordinates, and the surface of the court lies in the xy-plane. The car, which we represent as a point, has x and y-coordinates that vary with time according to

x = 2.0 m – (0.25 m/s2)t2                                           

y = (1.0 m/s)t + (0.025 m/s3)t3

 

1. Find the car’s coordinate’s and distance from you at time t = 2.0 s.

A) (1.0m, 2.2 m) r = 2.4 m

B) (2.2m, 1.5m) r = 2.7m                                            

C) (2.5m, 2.05m) r = 3.2 m                                            

D) (2.3m, 1.0m) r = 2.5m

 

2. The components of the car’s instantaneous velocity are the time derivatives of the coordinates:

vx = dx/dt = (-0.25 m/s2)(2t),

vy = dy/dt = 1.0 m/s + (0.025 m/s3)(3t2)

This can be expressed as velocity vector                           

v = vxî + vyĵ  = (-0.5 m/s2)tî + [1.0 m/s + (0.075 m/s3)t2]ĵ

3. What are the components of instantaneous velocity  and its magnitude at time t =2.0 s?

A) vx = -1.0 m/s, vy = 1.3 m/s, v = 1.6 m/s, α128°                     

B) vx =  2.3 m/s, vy = 1.5 m/s, v = 2.7 m/s, α128°                                   

C) vx =  1.0 m/s, vy = - 1.3 m/s, v = 1.6 m/s, α128°                                         

D) vx = -1.5 m/s, vy = 2.3 m/s, v = 2.7 m/s, α128°  

 

4. Using the components of instantaneous velocity at any time t vx = dx/dt = (-0.25 m/s2)(2t), vy = dy/dt = 1.0 m/s + (0.025 m/s3)(3t2)

Find the components of the average acceleration in the interval from t = 0.0 s to t = 2.0 s.                     

A) avx =  0.5 m/s2, avy = - 0.015 m/s2                      

B) avx = - 0.5 m/s2, avy = 0.75 m/s2                           

C) avx =   0.15 m/s2, avy = 0.05 m/s2                       

D) avx = -  0.5 m/s2, avy =  0.15 m/s2

 

5. What is the instantaneous acceleration at t = 2.0 s?                                        

A)a = 0.75 m/s2, 149°       C)a = 0.85 m/s2, 149°                            

B)a = 0.58 m/s2, 149°       D)a = 0.30 m/s2, 149°

 

6. What is the strongest fundamental force?

A) weak nuclear force

C) electromagnetic force

B) gravitational Force  

D) strong nuclear force
