The given function represents the position of a particle traveling along a horizontal line. s(t) = 2t3 − 3t2 − 12t + 6 for t ≥ 0

(a) Find the velocity and acceleration functions. v(t) = 6t2−6t−12 a(t) = 12t−6 (b) Determine the time intervals when the object is slowing down or speeding up. (Enter your answers using interval notation.)

Answer:

(a) v(t) = 6t^2 - 6t - 12, a(t) = 12t - 6

(b) When 0 \leq t < 0.5, object is slowing down, when t > 0.5 object is speeding up.

Explanation:

(a) To get the velocity function, we need to take the derivative of the position function.

v(t) = \frac{ds(t)}{dt}  = (2t^{3})^{'} - (3t^{2})^{'} - (12t)^{'} + 6^{'} = 6t^{2} - 6t - 12

To get the acceleration function, we need to take the derivative of the velocity function.

a(t) = \frac{dv(t)}{dt} = (6t^{2})^{'} - (6t)^{'} - (12)^{'} = 12t - 6

(b) The object is slowing down when velocity is decreasing by time (decelerating) hence a < 0

12t - 6 < 0 \\12t < 6 \\t < 0.5

On the other hand, object is speeding up when a > 0

12t - 6 > 0 \\12t > 6 \\t > 0.5

Therefore, when 0 \leq t < 0.5, object is slowing down, when t > 0.5 object is speeding up.

The sum of all forces acting on an object
Zina [86]

Answer:

The net force is the vector sum of all the forces that act upon an object. That is to say, the net force is the sum of all the forces, taking into account the fact that a force is a vector and two forces of equal magnitude and opposite direction will cancel each other out.

Which of the following best describes transverse waves?
den301095 [7]

Best Answer: perpendicular to the direction of wave motion

think of you and a friend holding different ends of a rope. you shake your end side to side and the wave travels down to your friend's end. if you pay attention to a given segment of the rope, it moves, but it moves to the right and left while the wave travels forward. in a transverse wave, the constituents of the wave move perpendicular to the direction of motion of the wave itself.

a longitudinal wave, on the other hand, is the opposite. the constituents of the wave alternate moving in the same or opposite direction as the wave moves. this one is more like if you and your friend were holding onto a slinky. you give your end a push towards your friend, and you can see the wave move towards the other end.

hope that helps :D
