Concept explainers
To identify:The statement is true or false rate of change of the function.
Answer to Problem 41E
The statement saying acceleration is second derivative of position function is TRUE.
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
Need to verify if acceleration of a particle is the second derivative of the position function or not.
Lets say position function be represented by
As velocity of the particle is rate of change of position with respect to time
As acceleration of the particle is rate of change of velocity with respect to time
Substitute value of
Asacceleration that is
