Concept explainers
As a car accelerates, it does not accelerate at a constant rate; rather, the acceleration is variable. For the following exercises, use the following table, which contains the acceleration measured at every second as a driver merges onto a freeway.
Time (sec) | Acceleration (mph/sec) |
1 | 11.2 |
2 | 10.6 |
3 | 8.1 |
4 | 5.4 |
5 | 0 |
251. [T] Using your velocity equation from the previous exercise, find the corresponding distance equation, assuming your initial distance is 0 mi. How far did you travel while you accelerated your car? (Hint: You will need to convert time units.)

- 45) Find the area "under" v7 (t) on the interval [6,9]. What does your answer tell us about Mr. Goza?arrow_forwardA 800-lb object is released from rest 600 ft above the ground and allowed to fall under the influence of gravity. Assuming that the force in pounds due to air resistance is - 20v, where v is the velocity of the object in ft/sec, determine the equation of motion of the object. When will the object hit the ground? Assume that the acceleration due to gravity is 32 ft / sec and let x(t) represent the distance the object has fallen in t seconds. Determine the equation of motion of the object. x(t) = Oarrow_forwardA billiard ball is dropped from a height of 144 feet. Use the position function s (t) = -16t2 + vot + so to answer the following making sure to put correct units of measurement. a) Determine the position function s (t), the velocity function v (t), and the acceleration function a (t). b) When will the ball hit the ground? Put units of measurement. c) What is the velocity of the ball at impact? d) What is the acceleration of the ball at impact. Type in your answer for each part into the text box below.
