The function s(t)s(t) describes the position of a particle moving along a coordinate line, where ss is in feet and tt is in seconds. (a) Find the velocity and acceleration functions. (b) Find the position, velocity, specd, and acceleration at time t

Sagot :

Answer:

Explanation:

From the given information:

Let's assume that the missing function is:

s(t) = t³ - 6t², t ≥ 0

From part (b), we are to find the given  required terms when time t = 2

So; from the function s(t) =  t³ - 6t², t ≥ 0

[tex]velocity \ v(t) \ = \dfrac{d}{dt}s(t)[/tex]

[tex]velocity \ v(t) \ = \dfrac{d}{dt}(t^3 - 6t^2)[/tex]

[tex]velocity \ v(t) \ = 3t^2 - 12t[/tex]

[tex]acceleration a(t) = \dfrac{d}{dt}*v(t)[/tex]

[tex]acceleration a(t) = \dfrac{d}{dt}(3t^2 - 12 t)[/tex]

[tex]acceleration\ a(t) = 6t - 12[/tex]

At time t = 2

The position; S(2) = (2)² - 6(2)²

S(2) = 8 - 6(4)

S(2) = 8 - 24

S(2) = - 16 ft

v(2) = 3(2)² - 12 (2)

v(2) = 3(4) - 24

v(2) = 12 - 24

v(2) = - 12 ft/s

speed = |v(2)|

|v(2)|  = |(-12)|

|v(2)| = 12 ft/s

acceleration = 6t - 12

acceleration = 6(2) - 12

acceleration =  12 - 12

acceleration =  0 ft/s²
