A particle's velocity is given by the function Vx = (2.2 m/s) * sin (pi * t), where t is in seconds. What is the first time after t=0 s when the particle reaches a turning point?​

Respuesta :

Answer:

After 1 seconds

Explanation:

The velocity of the particle is given by a periodic function, in the form

[tex]v_x=(2.2) sin (\pi t)[/tex] [m/s]

where

t is the time, in seconds

A periodic function is written in the form

[tex]y=Asin(\omega t)[/tex]

where

A is the amplitude (maximum displacement from equilibrium position)

[tex]\omega[/tex] is the angular frequency, which can be written as

[tex]\omega=\frac{2\pi}{T}[/tex]

where T is the period.

For the periodic function in this problem, we have

A = 2.2 m/s

[tex]\omega= \pi[/tex] [rad/s]

So the period is:

[tex]T=\frac{2\pi}{\pi}=2 s[/tex]

The particle reaches a turning point when the velocity becomes zero, and then it becomes negative.

At t = 0, the function has value of zero.

After 1/4 of period, which corresponds to 0.5 seconds, the function reaches its maximum:

[tex]v(0.5 s)=(2.2)\cdot sin(\pi \cdot 0.5)=2.2[/tex]

After 1/2 of period, which corresponds to 1 second, the function becomes zero again:

[tex]v(1s)=2.2\cdot sin (\pi \cdot 1)=0[/tex]

Therefore, the particle reaches the first turning point at t = 1 sec.
