Question 1
A particle moves on the x-axis with an acceleration , a=(6t-4)ms^-2 . Find the position and velocity of the particle at t=3 , if the particle is at origin and has a velocity of 10ms^-1 when t=0 by using either the method of undetermined coefficient or Laplace Transform .
Question 2
The series circuit consists of an electromotive force which is supplied by a battery 12-V, a resistor with R=20ohm , an inductor with L=1H , and a capacitor with C=0.002F . Given
that the current , I is the rate of change of the capacitor Q with respect to t . It is known that
the voltage drops across the resistor, capacitor and inductor are RI , Q/C and L dI/dT respectively. By using Kirchhoff’s voltage law L dI/dT + RI + Q/C = E(t) where E(t) s the
supplied voltage and the initial charge and current are both 0, determine :
a) The charge , Q at the time , t .
b) The charge , Q at the time , t if the battery is replaced by a generator producing a voltage of E(t)=12sin10t
Please help me to solve this equation...
To solve Question 1 using the method of undetermined coefficients, we need to integrate the given acceleration equation twice to find the position equation and then differentiate it once to find the velocity equation.
Given acceleration, a = (6t - 4) m/s^2
Integrating once: ∫a dt = ∫(6t - 4) dt
Applying integration rules, we get: v = 3t^2 - 4t + C1 -- (1)
Given initial velocity, v = 10 m/s when t = 0
Substituting these values into equation (1), we get: 10 = 3(0)^2 - 4(0) + C1
Simplifying, we find: C1 = 10
Equation (1) now becomes: v = 3t^2 - 4t + 10
Differentiating equation (1) to find the position equation:
dx/dt = v = 3t^2 - 4t + 10
Integrating once again: ∫(3t^2 - 4t + 10) dt = ∫dx
Applying integration rules, we get: x = t^3 - 2t^2 + 10t + C2 -- (2)
To find the position when t = 3, substitute this value in equation (2):
x = (3)^3 - 2(3)^2 + 10(3) + C2
Simplifying, we get: x = 27 - 18 + 30 + C2
x = 39 + C2
Thus, the position of the particle at t = 3 is 39 + C2, where C2 is the constant of integration.
To solve Question 2, we can use Kirchhoff's voltage law and differential equations.
a) Using Kirchhoff's voltage law to describe the circuit:
L * dI/dt + R * I + Q/C = E(t)
Given that the initial charge (Q) and current (I) are both 0, the equation becomes:
L * dI/dt + R * I + Q/C = E(t)
L * dI/dt + R * I + 0 = E(t)
L * dI/dt + R * I = E(t) -- (3)
To find the charge at a given time (Q), we can use Ohm's law and the fact that current (I) is the rate of change of charge (Q) with respect to time:
I = dQ/dt
Substituting this into equation (3), we get:
L * d^2Q/dt^2 + R * dQ/dt = E(t) -- (4)
b) If the battery is replaced by a generator producing a voltage of E(t) = 12 sin(10t), we substitute this value into equation (4):
L * d^2Q/dt^2 + R * dQ/dt = 12 sin(10t)
To solve this second-order linear homogeneous ordinary differential equation, we can use various methods such as the method of undetermined coefficients, Laplace transform, or solving it as a harmonic oscillator.
