This and the next two questions apply to this situation:A massive space freighter wants to accelerate at 4g. It takes time for the rocket engines to rev up,and turn up to their desired power. The freighter starts from rest, and its acceleration (until itreaches 4g) is:32ta(t) = - Ag2t3The captain wants to reach 4g at time t = T. What must A be, to satisfy a(T) = 4g? The desired final acceleration is now 3g, with a corresponding value for A. Recall:32t2t3Ta(t)-Ag%3DAcceleration feels like weight, and a rapid change in acceleration feels like a rapid change in weight.You don't want a too rapid change in weight -- the derivative a'(t) shouldn't be too great. Therefore:Take the derivative of a(t).Find t that maximizes a'(t).Answer T (in seconds) such that the maximum value of a'(t) is 1/60 m/s³.(If this were the actual test, I would give you t. Here, I urge you to figure it out.)
