4. A particle starts at the point (8 m, 0 m) with a velocity of (-3 j) m/s. If it experiences a constant acceleration of (-3.5 i + 6 j) m/s2, after how much time does it cross the y-axis?

Respuesta :

Answer:

t = 1.51 s

Explanation:

Initial position of the particle is given as

[tex]r_1[/tex] = (8m, 0m)

now the velocity is initially along - Y direction so it is given as

[tex]v_i = - 3\hat j[/tex]

now we know that the acceleration of the particle is given as

[tex]\vec a = -3.5 \hat i + 6 \hat j[/tex]

now when particle will cross Y axis then the displacement in x direction is given as

[tex]d_x = 0 - 8 = - 8m[/tex]

so in x direction we can use kinematics as

[tex]d_x = v_{ix} t + \frac{1}{2} at^2[/tex]

[tex]- 8 = 0 + (-3.5) t^2[/tex]

[tex]t = 1.51 s[/tex]
