A motorcycle is moving at a constant velocity of 15 meters/second. Then it starts to accelerate and reaches a velocity of 24 met

ers/second in 3 seconds. What’s the acceleration of the motorcycle over this time?

The height of a projectile t seconds after it is launched straight up in the air is given by f (t )equals negative 16 t squared

velikii [3]

Answer:

$\displaystyle a(5)=-32$

Explanation:

<u>Instant Acceleration</u>

The kinetic magnitudes are usually related as scalar or vector equations. By doing so, we are assuming the acceleration is constant over time. But when the acceleration is variable, the relations are in the form of calculus equations, specifically using derivatives and/or integrals.

Let f(t) be the distance traveled by an object as a function of the time t. The instant speed v(t) is defined as:

$\displaystyle v(t)=\frac{df}{dt}$

And the acceleration is

$\displaystyle a(t)=\frac{dv}{dt}$

Or equivalently

$\displaystyle a(t)=\frac{d^2f}{d^2t}$

The given height of a projectile is

$f(t)=-16t^2 +238t+3$

Let's compute the speed

$\displaystyle v(t)=-32t+238$

And the acceleration

$\displaystyle a(t)=-32$

It's a constant value regardless of the time t, thus

$\boxed{\displaystyle a(5)=-32}$

We have to choose the correct name for the zone along the southern margins of the Sahara. Laterite is a soil in hot and wet tropical areas. Savanna is the tropical grassland. It has tropical savanna climate. Veldt is name for the areas in the South Africa. Finally, the Sahel is the zone along the south margins of the Sahara. It has a semi-arid climate. The Arabic word "sahel" means "coast". Answer: C. Sahel. <span> </span>
