A particle moves according to a law of motion s = f(t), t ≥ 0, where t is measured in seconds and s in feet.
(a) Find the velocity at time t.
(b) What is the velocity after 1 second?
(c) When is the particle at rest?
(d) When is the particle moving in the positive direction?
(e) Find the total distance traveled during the first 6 seconds.
(f) Draw a diagram like Figure 2 to illustrate the motion of the particle.
(g) Find the acceleration at time t and after 1 second.
(h) Graph the position, velocity, and acceleration functions for 0 ≤ t ≤ 6.
(i) When is the particle speeding up? When is it slowing down?

- The kinetic energy E of an object varies jointly with the object’s mass m and the square of the object’s velocity v . An object with a mass of 50 kilograms traveling at 16 meters per second has a kinetic energy of 6400 joules. What is the kinetic energy of an object with a mass of 70 kilograms traveling at 20 meters per second?arrow_forwardA driver of a car stopped at a gas station to fill up his gas tank. He looked at his watch, and the time read exactly 3:40 p.m. At this time, he started pumping gas into the tank. At exactly 3:44, the tank was full and he noticed that he had pumped 10.7 gallons. What is the average rate of flow of the gasoline into the gas tank?arrow_forwardVelocity at the Equator Assuming the radius of the earth is 4,000 miles, use the information from Problem 43 to find the linear velocity of a person standing on the equator.arrow_forward
