A cart is slowing down at a rate of 2t + 60 centimeters per second per
second (where t is the time in seconds).
By how many centimeters per second does does the cart slow
down between seconds 5 and 15?

Sagot :

The cart slows that at the rate of 20cm/s between 5 and 15secs

Given the rate function expressed as:

r(t) = 2t + 60

If the time is t = 5

r(5) = 2(5) + 60

r(5) = 70cm/s

If the time is t = 15

r(15) = 2(15) + 60

r(15) = 90cm/s

Taking the difference in rate;

Difference = 90cm.s - 70cm/s

Difference = 20cm/s

Hence the cart slows that at the rate of 20cm/s between 5 and 15secs
