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.

A jet makes a landing traveling due east with a speed of 120 m/s .
vesna_86 [32]

Average acceleration over a time interval lasting \Delta t is

a_{\rm ave}=\dfrac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}

where \Delta v is the difference in the jet's final and initial velocities. It's coming to a rest, so

a_{\rm ave}=\dfrac{0-120\frac{\rm m}{\rm s}}{13.5\,\rm s}=-8.9\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}

so the average acceleration has magnitude 8.9 m/s^2 and is pointing West (the direction opposite the jet's movement, which should make sense because the jet is slowing down).

shutvik [7]
<h2>Answer:2.65 seconds</h2>

Explanation:

Let a be the acceleration.

Let u be the initial velocity.

Let v be the final velocity.

Let t be the time taken.

As we know from the equations of motion,

v=u+at

Given,v=0\\u=8.12ms^{-1}\\a=-3.06ms^{-2}

0=8.12-3.06t

t=2.65sec

You are studying a population of flowering plants for several years. When you present your research findings you make the statem
Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

Option A

Explanation:

The graph for this problem must depict the following ""Increased allocation of resources to reproduction relative to growth diminished future fecundity."

Hence, the survivor ship must be on the Y axis and the resources on the X axis.

Here the resources include the number of seeds produced.

hence, the higher is the number of seeds (resource), the lower is the survivorship (future fecundity)

Hence, option A is correct
