A speedboat moves on a lake with initial velocity vector v1,x = 8.57 m/s and v1,y = -2.61 m/s, then accelerates for 6.67 seconds at an average acceleration of aav,x = -0.105 m/s2 and aav,y = 0.101 m/s2. What are the components of the speedboat\'s final velocity, v2,x and v2,y?
Find the speedboat's final speed?

Respuesta :

First, you find the velocity at each component. The general equation is:

a = (v2 - v1)/t

a,x = (v2,x - v1,x)/t
-0.105 = (v2,x - 8.57)/6.67
v2,x = 7.87 m/s

a,y = (v2,y - v1,y)/t
0.101 = (v2,y - -2.61)/6.67
v2,y = -1.94 m/s

To find the final speed, find the resultant velocity by taking the hypotenuse.

v^2 = (v2,x)^2 + (v2,y)^2
v^2 = (7.87)^2 + (-1.94)^2
v = 8.1 m/s

The component of final velocity are 7.87 m/s and -1.94 m/s respectively.

The final speed of the speedboat is 8.10 m/s.

Given data:

The initial velocity vector along x-direction is, [tex]v_{1x}=8.57 \;\rm m/s[/tex].

The  initial velocity vector along y-direction is, [tex]v_{1y}=-2.61 \;\rm m/s[/tex].

The time interval is, t = 6.67 s.

The average acceleration along x-direction is, [tex]a_{x}=-0.105 \;\rm m/s^{2}[/tex].

The average acceleration along y-direction is, [tex]a_{y}=0.101 \;\rm m/s^{2}[/tex].

The concept of acceleration is used to solve the given problem. Acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity. So, along the x-direction it is given as,

[tex]a_{x}=\dfrac{v_{2x}-v_{1x}}{t} \\\\-0.105=\dfrac{v_{2x}-8.57}{6.67}\\\\v_{2x}= (-0.105 \times 6.67) + 8.57\\\\v_{2x}=7.87 \;\rm m/s[/tex]

Similarly, the acceleration along the y-direction is,

[tex]a_{y}=\dfrac{v_{2y}-v_{1y}}{t} \\\\0.101=\dfrac{v_{2y}-(-2.61)}{6.67}\\\\v_{2y}= (0.101 \times 6.67) - 2.61\\\\v_{2y}=-1.94 \;\rm m/s[/tex]

Thus, we can conclude that the component of final velocity are 7.87 m/s and -1.94 m/s respectively.

Now, the speedboat's final speed is calculated as,

[tex]v_{final}=\sqrt{v^{2}_{2x}+v^{2}_{2y}}\\\\v_{final}=\sqrt{7.87^{2}+(-1.94)^{2}}\\\\v_{final}=8.10 \;\rm m/s[/tex]

Thus, the final speed of the speedboat is 8.10 m/s.
