The average rate of change in distance with respect to time is given by… change in distance change in time Also known as average velocity
Ex. If a free-falling object is dropped from a height of 100 feet, its height s at time t is given by the position function s = -16t2 + 100, where s is measured in feet and t is measured in seconds. Find the average rate of change of the height over the following intervals. a. [1, 2] b. [1, 1.5] c. [1, 1.1] a. b. c.
At time t = 0, a diver jumps from a diving board that is 32 feet above the water. The position of the diver is given by where s is measured in feet and t in seconds. • When does the diver hit the water? • What is the diver’s velocity at impact? To find the time at which the diver hits the water, we let s(t) = 0 and solve for t. t = -1 or 2 -1 doesn’t make sense, so the diver hits at 2 seconds.
The velocity at time t is given by the derivative. s’(t) = v(t) = -32t + 16 @ t = 2 seconds, s’(2) = -48 ft/sec. The negative gives the direction, which in this case is down.
