The position function of a particle in rectilinear motion is given by s(t) = 2t3 – 21t2 + 60t + 3 for t ≥ 0 with t measured in s

econds and s(t) measured in feet. Find the position and acceleration of the particle at the instant when the particle reverses direction. Include units in your answer.

The positions when the particle reverses direction are:

s(t_1)=55ft\\\\s(t_2)=28ft

The acceleraton of the paticle when reverses direction is:

a(t_1)=-18\frac{ft}{s^{2}}\\ \\a(t_2)=a(5s)=18\frac{ft}{s^{2}}

Why?

To solve the problem, we need to remember that if we derivate the position function, we will get the velocity function, and if we derivate the velocity function, we will get the acceleration function. So, we will need to derivate two times.

Also, when the particle reverses its direction, the velocity is equal to 0.

We are given the following function:

s(t)=2t^{3}-21t^{2}+60t+3

So,

- Derivating to get the velocity function, we have:

v(t)=\frac{ds}{dt}=(2t^{3}-21t^{2}+60t+3)\\\\v(t)=3*2t^{2}-2*21t+60*1+0\\\\v(t)=6t^{2}-42t+60

Now, making the function equal to 0, to find the times when the particle reversed its direction, we have:

v(t)=6t^{2}-42t+60\\\\0=6t^{2}-42t+60\\\\0=t^{2}-7t+10\\(t-5)*(t-2)=0\\\\t_{1}=5s\\t_{2}=2s

We know that the particle reversed its direction two times.

- Derivating the velocity function to find the acceleration function, we have:

a(t)=\frac{dv}{dt}=6t^{2}-42t+60\\\\a(t)=12t-42

Now, substituting the times to calculate the accelerations, we have:

a(t_1)=a(2s)=12*2-42=-18\frac{ft}{s^{2}}\\ \\a(t_2)=a(5s)=12*5-42=18\frac{ft}{s^{2}}

Now, substitutitng the times to calculate the positions, we have:

s(t_1)=2*(2)^{3}-21*(2)^{2}+60*2+3=16-84+120+3=55ft\\\\s(t_2)=2*(5)^{3}-21*(5)^{2}+60*5+3=250-525+300+3=28ft

Have a nice day!

Let u = &lt;-9, 4&gt;, v = &lt;8, -5&gt;. Find u - v. <br> URGENT
Pie

To subtract vectors, you simply have to subtract correspondent coordinates.

So, if you have

u = \langle u_1,\ u_2,\ldots u_n\rangle ,\quad v = \langle v_1,\ v_2,\ldots v_n\rangle

the subtraction is simply

u-v = \langle u_1-v_1,\ u_2-v_2,\ldots u_n-v_n\rangle

So, in your case, we have

\langle-9,4\rangle-\langle 8,-5\rangle=\langle -9-8, 4+5\rangle=\langle -17,9\rangle

Check the picture below.

bearing in mind that twin sides stemming from a common vertex, will make twin angles at the base, thus 74° has a twin.
