Displacement, Velocity and Acceleration
In classical mechanics, kinematics deals with the motion of a particle. It deals only with the position, velocity, acceleration, and displacement of a particle. It has no concern about the source of motion.
Linear Displacement
The term "displacement" refers to when something shifts away from its original "location," and "linear" refers to a straight line. As a result, “Linear Displacement” can be described as the movement of an object in a straight line along a single axis, for example, from side to side or up and down. Non-contact sensors such as LVDTs and other linear location sensors can calculate linear displacement. Non-contact sensors such as LVDTs and other linear location sensors can calculate linear displacement. Linear displacement is usually measured in millimeters or inches and may be positive or negative.
![### Problem Statement
The function \( s(t) \) describes the motion of a particle along a line.
\[ s(t) = t^3 - 11t^2 + 35t - 250 \]
1. **(a)** Find the velocity function \( v(t) \) of the particle at any time \( t \geq 0 \).
- \( v(t) = \underline{\hspace{4cm}} \)
2. **(b)** Identify the time interval(s) on which the particle is moving in a positive direction. (Enter your answer using interval notation.)
- \(\underline{\hspace{8cm}}\)
3. **(c)** Identify the time interval(s) on which the particle is moving in a negative direction. (Enter your answer using interval notation.)
- \(\underline{\hspace{8cm}}\)
4. **(d)** Identify the time(s) at which the particle changes direction. (Enter your answers as a comma-separated list.)
- \( t = \underline{\hspace{6cm}} \)
### Explanation
In this exercise, we are given a function that represents the motion of a particle along a line, and we are required to:
1. **Calculate the Velocity Function**: Derive the velocity function from the given position function \( s(t) \).
2. **Determine Positive Movement Intervals**: Identify time intervals where the particle moves in a positive direction.
3. **Determine Negative Movement Intervals**: Identify time intervals where the particle moves in a negative direction.
4. **Identify Points of Direction Change**: Find the times at which the particle changes its direction.
The solution involves using calculus to derive the velocity function \( v(t) = s'(t) \), analyzing the sign of \( v(t) \) to identify intervals of positive and negative motion, and determining when changes in direction occur by finding where \( v(t) = 0 \) and changes sign.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F4f600c6f-5380-4bbd-930a-0f4ab51c1e59%2F328d4f65-f661-4736-8535-854f3ea82db0%2Ffpwuz3n_processed.png&w=3840&q=75)
