Interpreting the derivative Find the derivative of each at notion at the given point and interpret the physical meaning of this quantity. Include units in your answer.
50 The gravitational force of attraction between two masses separated by a distance of x meters is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them, which implies that the force is described by the function

- Frictional Force The frictional force F between the tires and the road required to keep a car on a curved section of a highway is directly proportional to the square of the speed s of the car. If the speed of the car is doubled, the force will change by what factor?arrow_forwardSkidding in a Curve A car is traveling on a curve that forms a circular arc. The force F needed to keep the car from skidding is jointly proportional to the weight w of the car and the square of its speed s and is inversely proportional to the radius r of the curve. a Write an equation that expresses this variation. b A car weighing 1600 lb travels around a curve at 60 mi/h. The next car to round this curve weighs 2500 lb and requires the same force as the first car to keep from skidding. How fast is the second car traveling?arrow_forwardFind the derivative. car (x+y) = yrinx Harrow_forward
