A ping-pong ball is moving along a track so that its position at time t is give by the vector
<x(t), y(t)>, where x(t) = 2t2-6t+3 and y(t) is unknown. Both x and y are measured in
meters, and t is measured in seconds. It is know that the velocity of the ping-pong ball in the
=te-2-3.
y-direction is given by
dy
dt
(a) Find the time t, 0 <t≤3, when the line tangent to the path of the particle is vertical. Is
the ping-pong ball flying up or down right at that time? Give a reason for your answer. (2pts)
(b) Find the speed of the ping-pong ball at t=2 seconds. (1.5 pts)
(c) Find the total distance traveled by the ping-pong ball during the first 3 seconds 0≤t≤3.
(1.5 pts)
(d) There are two points along the track 3 meters to the right of the origin through which the
ping-pong ball passes.
(i) Find the two values of t when that occurs. (1 pt)
(ii) Find the slope of the lines tangent to the ball's path at that point. (1 pt)
(iii) Find the y-coordinate of these points given y(1) = 6. (2 pts).
