The velocity of a particle moving along the x-axis is defined by V= kx3 – 4x2 +6x, where V is in m/sec., x is in meters, and k is a constant. If K=1 Compute the value of the acceleration after x= 2 meters.
Suppose that you drive the 10.0 km from your university to home in 20.0 min. Calculate your average speed (a) in kilometersper hour (km/h) and (b) in meters per second (m/s). (Note: Average speed is distance traveled divided by time of travel.)
The velocity of a particle moving along x-axis is defined by v=s3-4s2+6s where v is in m/s and s in meters. Compute the velocity when s=2m, compute the acceleration when s=2m.

We can do this by approximating the area under a curve. But what curve? In this case, imagine that the velocity of the vehicle is a function of time, v(t). We do not have this function, but we do have the values of th function at certain points in time. If we assume the function (the velocity) is constant between these points in time (which is not actually true), we can get an approximation. distance traveled - feet Give another estimate using the velocities at the end of the time periods. distance traveled feet Question Help: Video 20210110 2205M2 ing 20210110 220552 jpgarrow_forwardThe speed limit on the main road through town is currently 55 mph. Drivers approaching that intersection are first able to see the stop sign from 44 meters away. Does that give them enough advance warning to stop before reaching the intersection, if they are going 55 mph? Use braking distance (how much distance a car travels from the time the brakes are applied, until the car comes to a complete stop). Using this information, compute the worst-case stopping distance (number of meters) at this intersection for a vehicle going 55 mph.arrow_forward
