The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the time at which the two particles collide, meaning their displacements \( x_1 \) and \( x_2 \) are equal. The displacement equations are given as: \[ x_1 = 8 + 3 \sin(\omega t) \] \[ x_2 = 4 \cos(\omega t) \] where \( \omega = \pi \) rad/s. ### Step 1: Set the equations equal to each other To find the time when the two particles collide, we set their displacement equations equal to each other: \[ 8 + 3 \sin(\pi t) = 4 \cos(\pi t) \] ### Step 2: Rearrange the equation Rearranging the equation gives us: \[ 3 \sin(\pi t) - 4 \cos(\pi t) + 8 = 0 \] ### Step 3: Isolate the trigonometric terms We can isolate the trigonometric terms: \[ 3 \sin(\pi t) = 4 \cos(\pi t) - 8 \] ### Step 4: Divide by \(\cos(\pi t)\) To solve for \( t \), we can divide both sides by \( \cos(\pi t) \) (assuming \(\cos(\pi t) \neq 0\)): \[ 3 \tan(\pi t) = 4 - \frac{8}{\cos(\pi t)} \] ### Step 5: Analyze the ranges of \( x_1 \) and \( x_2 \) Now, we need to analyze the ranges of \( x_1 \) and \( x_2 \): - For \( x_1 \): - Minimum: \( 8 - 3 = 5 \) - Maximum: \( 8 + 3 = 11 \) - For \( x_2 \): - Minimum: \( 4 \cdot (-1) = -4 \) - Maximum: \( 4 \cdot 1 = 4 \) ### Step 6: Determine if there is an overlap in ranges The range of \( x_1 \) is from 5 to 11, and the range of \( x_2 \) is from -4 to 4. Since there is no overlap between these ranges, the two particles will never collide. ### Conclusion Thus, the two particles will not collide at any time \( t \). Therefore, the answer is: \[ \text{The two particles will collide after time } t = \text{none of these (they never collide)}. \]
