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.

How is the L-section filter useful at both low and high frequencies?​
Gnom [1K]

Answer: High pass filters, and in particular LC high pass filters are used in many RF applications where they block the lower frequencies and allow through higher frequency signals. Typically LC filters are used for the higher radio frequencies where active filters are not so manageable, and inductors more appropriate.

Where must an object be placed to form an image 30.0 cm from a diverging lens with a focal length of 43.0 cm?
Schach [20]
Using lens equation;

1/o + 1/i = 1/f; where o = Object distance, i = image distance (normally negative), f = focal length (normally negative)

Substituting;

1/o + 1/-30 = 1/-43 => 1/o = -1/43 + 1/30 = 0.01 => o = 1/0.01 = 99.23 cm

Therefore, the object should be place 99.23 cm from the lens.

This is a machine that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy.
Yuri [45]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

Motor

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

A motor is a machine that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy. In motors, electric energy is converted into mechanic energy when a magnetic torque acts on a conductor that carries a current. There are different types of motors like DC and AC motors. The moving part of a motor is called the rotor while the stationary part is called stator
