Calculus The Amazing Power of the Derivative in Velocity Functions Michelle Martin Period 4 AP #26
A particle moves along the x-axis with acceleration given by for all . At , the velocity v(t) of the particle is 2 and the position x(t) is 5. D. Find the total distance traveled by the particle from t = 0 to . A. Write an expression for the velocity v(t) of the particle. B. Write an expression for the position x(t). C. For what values of t is the particle moving to the right? Justify your answer.
Solving the Problem • Numerically • Graphically • Analytically
Knowledge: Given: v(0)=2 Part A Writing the Velocity Function Solution:
Given: Knowledge: x(0)=5 Part B Writing the Position Function Solution:
Knowledge: + v(t) 0 The particle is always moving to the right. Part C Studying Direction of Movement Solution: No critical values
Knowledge: Distance traveled = Area under velocity graph Part D Finding Total Distance Traveled What is the integral of "one over cabin" with respect to "cabin"?Answer: Natural log cabin + c = houseboat.
Distance = Calculus Overload! Part D Finding Total Distance Traveled Part Deux Distance = 4.1416 units
