Question

The velocity function (in meters per second) is given for a particle moving along a line. v(t) = t^2 - 2t - 24, 1 lessthanorequalto t lessthanorequalto 7 (a) Find the displacement. m (b) Find the distance traveled by the particle during the given time interval. m The acceleration function (in m/s^2) and the initial velocity v(0) are given for a particle moving along a line. a(t) = 2t + 4, v(0) = -5, 0 lessthanorequalto t lessthanorequalto 3 (a) Find the velocity at time t. v(t) = t^2 + 4t - 5 m/s (b) Find the distance travel during the given time interval. 72 m

Explanation / Answer

13) given v(t)=t2-2t -24, 1<=t<=7

a) displacement =[1 to 7]v(t) dt

displacement =[1 to 7](t2-2t -24) dt

displacement =[1 to 7]((1/3)t3-t2 -24t)

displacement =((1/3)73-72 -24*7)-((1/3)13-12 -24*1)

displacement =-78 m (negative side indicates left side of initial position)

b)

distance =[1 to 7]|v(t)| dt

distance =[1 to 7]|(t2-2t -24)| dt

v(t)>0

=>t2-2t -24>0

=>(t-6)(t+4)>0

=>t-6>0

=> t>6

v(t)<0

=>t2-2t -24<0

=>(t-6)(t+4)<0

=>t-6<0

=> t<6

when v(t)>0 then |v(t)|=v(t)

when v(t)<0 then |v(t)|=-v(t)

distance =[1 to 6]|(t2-2t -24)| dt+[6 to 7]|(t2-2t -24)| dt

distance =[1 to 6]-(t2-2t -24) dt+[6 to 7](t2-2t -24) dt

distance =[1 to 6]-((1/3)t3-t2 -24t) +[6 to 7]((1/3)t3-t2 -24t)

distance=-((1/3)63-62 -24*6)+((1/3)13-12 -24*1) +((1/3)73-72 -24*7) -((1/3)63-62 -24*6)

distance =266/3 88.667 m
