Outside my window a squirrel is scurrying up and down a tree. Its position function is given by s(t) = t 3 − 12t 2 + 36t for the

seven seconds that I’m watching it (so from t = 0 to t = 7). (a) What is the velocity function, v(t), for the motion of the squirrel? (b) What is the acceleration function, a(t), for the motion of the squirrel? (c) At the four second mark, is the squirrel moving up the tree or down the tree? Justify your answer.

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Position of squirrel is given by

s(t)=t^3-12t^2+36t

Velocity is given by

v(t)=\frac{ds(t)}{dt}=\frac{d(t^3-12t^2+36t)}{dt}

v(t)=3t^2-12\times 2t+36

v(t)=3t^2-24t+36

(b) acceleration is given by

a(t)=\frac{da(t)}{dt}=\frac{d(3t^2-24t+36)}{dt}

a(t)=6t-24

(c)at s(3)=3^3-12(3)^2+36(3)

s(3)=27\ m

at s(4)=4^3-12(4)^2+36(4)

s(4)=16\ m

at t=3\ s Position is 27\ m and at t=4\ s position is 16\ m

therefore squirrel is moving down

A tugboat tows a ship with a constant force of magnitude F1. The increase in the ship's speed during a 10 s interval is 5.0 km/h
Ratling [72]

Answer

given,

time  = 10 s

ship's speed = 5 Km/h

F = m a

a is the acceleration and m is mass.

In the first case

F₁=m x a₁

where a₁ =  difference in velocity / time

F₁ is constant acceleration is also a constant.

Δv₁ = 5 x 0.278

Δv₁ = 1.39 m/s

a_1=\dfrac{1.39}{10}

a₁ = 0.139 m/s²

F₂ =m x a₂

F₃ = F₂ + F₁

Δv₃ = 19 x 0.278

Δv₃ = 5.282 m/s

a₃=Δv₂ / t

a_3=\dfrac{5.282}{10}

a₃ = 0.5282 m²/s

m a₃=m a₁ + m a₂

a₃ = a₂ + a₁

0.5282 = a₂ + 0.139

a₂=0.3892 m²/s

F₂ = m x 0.3892...........(1)

F₁ = m x 0.139...............(2)

F₂/F₁

ratio = \dfrac{0.3892}{0.139}

ratio = 2.8
