Part A - The average value of v(t) over the interval (0, π/2) is 6/π
Part B - The displacement of the yo-yo from time t = 0 to time t = π is 0 m
Part C - The total distance the yo-yo travels from time t = 0 to time t = π is 6 m.
Part A: Find the average value of v(t) on the interval (0, π/2)
The average value of a function f(t) over the interval (a,b) is
[tex]f(t)_{avg} = \frac{1}{b - a} \int\limits^b_a {f(t)} \, dx[/tex]
So, since velocity at time t is given by v(t) = 3cos(t) for time t ≥ 0. Its average value over the interval (0, π/2) is given by
[tex]v(t)_{avg} = \frac{1}{\frac{\pi }{2} - 0} \int\limits^{\frac{\pi }{2} }_0 {v(t)} \, dt[/tex]
Since v(t) = 3cost, we have
[tex]v(t)_{avg} = \frac{1}{\frac{\pi }{2} - 0} \int\limits^{\frac{\pi }{2} }_0 {3cos(t)} \, dt\\= \frac{3}{\frac{\pi }{2}} \int\limits^{\frac{\pi }{2} }_0 {cos(t)} \, dt\\= \frac{6}{{\pi}} [{sin(t)}]^{\frac{\pi }{2} }_{0} \\= \frac{6}{{\pi}} [{sin(\frac{\pi }{2})} - sin0]\\ = \frac{6}{{\pi}} [1 - 0]\\ = \frac{6}{{\pi}} [1]\\ = \frac{6}{{\pi}}[/tex]
So, the average value of v(t) over the interval (0, π/2) is 6/π
Part B: What is the displacement of the yo-yo from time t = 0 to time t = π?
To find the displacement of the yo-yo, we need to find its position.
So, its position x = ∫v(t)dt
= ∫3cos(t)dt
= 3∫cos(t)dt
= 3sint + C
Given that at t = 0, x = 3. so
x = 3sint + C
3 = 3sin0 + C
3 = 0 + C
C = 3
So, x(t) = 3sint + 3
So, its displacement from time t = 0 to time t = π is
Δx = x(π) - x(0)
= 3sinπ + 3 - (3sin0 + 3)
= 3 × 0 + 3 - 0 - 3
= 0 + 3 - 3
= 0 + 0
= 0 m
So, the displacement of the yo-yo from time t = 0 to time t = π is 0 m
Part C: Find the total distance the yo-yo travels from time t = 0 to time t = π. (10 points)
The total distance the yo-yo travels from time t = 0 to time t = π is given by
[tex]x(t) = \int\limits^{\pi}_0 {v(t)} \, dt\\= \int\limits^{\pi }_0 {3cos(t)} \, dt\\= 3 \int\limits^{\pi }_0 {cos(t)} \, dt\\ = 3 \int\limits^{\frac{\pi }{2} }_0 {cos(t)} \, dt + 3\int\limits^{\pi }_{\frac{\pi }{2}} {cos(t)} \, dt\\= 3 \times 2\int\limits^{\frac{\pi }{2} }_0 {cos(t)} \, dt\\= 6 [{sin(t)}]^{\frac{\pi }{2} }_{0} \\= 6[{sin\frac{\pi }{2} - sin0]\\\\= 6[1 - 0]\\= 6(1)\\= 6[/tex]
So, the total distance the yo-yo travels from time t = 0 to time t = π is 6 m.
