Answer: 6.25 m/s^2

Explanation:

The distance from Vinny to the ramp is 200m.

He has a maximum of 8 seconds to cover that distance.

The starting velocity is 0m/s.

The initial position is 0m.

To find the acceleration needed, we assume constant acceleration A.

a(t) = A.

To calculate the velocity, we integrate over time, noting that the constant of integration is zero since initial velocity is 0.

v(t) = A*t

For calculating position, we integrate again over time.

p(t) = 0.5*A*t^2

To cover 200m in 8 seconds:

p(8s) = 200m

0.5*A*(8s)^2 = 200m

A*32s^2 = 200m

A = 200m/32s^2 = 6.25 m/s^2

This represents the minimum acceleration required, while a greater acceleration would allow him to reach the 200m in a shorter time frame.

Q should be positioned 4.8 miles east of point B. Explanation: From the diagram, we can define the construction cost as a function of angle θ (as illustrated). The underwater pipe length (marked in blue) equals 6/cos θ, while the land pipe length (marked in brown) is (8 - 6*tan θ). The total construction cost formula is: Construction Cost = (6/cos θ)(6000) + (8 - 6*tan θ)(3750). This formula is represented in terms of θ, which can vary from 0 degrees to 53.13 degrees according to the diagram. To find the angle θ that minimizes the construction cost, we differentiate the Construction Cost function with respect to θ and set it to zero. The derivative yields: -4500(5*sec θ – 8*tan θ)(sec θ) = 0, leading to θ = 38.68 degrees. By substituting θ, we can determine the distance of Q from B, which equals 6*tan θ. This calculates to a distance of 4.8 miles.

ValentinkaMS [3465]

Answer:

20 cm

Explanation:

The electric potential energy U is calculated with the formula U = kq₁q₂/r, where q₁ = 5 nC (5 × 10⁻⁹ C) and q₂ = -2 nC (-2 × 10⁻⁹ C) and r is determined as √(x - 2)² + (0 - 0)² + (0 - 0)² = x - 2. This leads to U = -0.5 µJ (-0.5 × 10⁻⁶ J), where k = 9 × 10⁹ Nm²/C².

Thus, solving for r gives us r = kq₁q₂/U

which leads to x - 2 = kq₁q₂/U

Then, rearranging gives x = 0.02 + kq₁q₂/U m

So, x = 0.02 + 9 × 10⁹ Nm²/C² × 5 × 10⁻⁹ C × -2 × 10⁻⁹ C/-0.5 × 10⁻⁶ J

Resulting in x = 0.02 - 90 × 10⁻⁹ Nm²/-0.5 × 10⁻⁶ J

This simplifies to x = 0.02 + 0.18 = 0.2 m, or 20 cm
