Warmup: YES calculator 1) 2)
Warmup Find k such that the line is tangent to the graph of the function
Acceleration is the derivative of velocity. Speed isthe absolute value of velocity. f(x) = position function f ’(x) = velocity function f ”(x) = acceleration function
example: if t is in seconds, and f(t) is in feet Write the position, velocity, and acceleration functions with appropriate units Its position is in: Velocity would be in: Acceleration would be in:
It is important to understand the relationship between a position graph, velocity and acceleration: distance time This is a POSITION GRAPH f(x) acc neg vel pos (slowing down) acc neg vel neg (speeding up) acc zero vel neg (constant speed) acc zero vel pos (constant speed) acc pos vel neg (slowing down) velocity zero acc pos vel pos (speeding up) acc zero, velocity zero (not moving)
Rectilinear motion(motion of an object along a straight line): • Positionis the location of an object and is given as a function of time. Conventional notation uses s(t). Displacementis the difference between the final position and the initial position… displacement = s(final time) – s(initialtime). Total distance traveled… Sum of each distance between turns. (turns may occur when velocity =0)
Velocity info: Advancing (moving right)….. when velocity is positive. v>0 Retreating (moving left) … when velocity is negative. v<0 Acceleration Info: Accelerating… when acceleration is positive. a>0 Decelerating… when acceleration is negative. a<0 Both: Speeding up (going faster)… when velocity and acceleration have the same signs. (+)(+) or (-)(-) Slowing down (going slower) … when velocity and acceleration have opposite signs. (+)(-) or (-)(+)
Example 2: Find the displacement of the object over the interval [0 sec, 10sec]. Example 3: What is the total distance traveled? Example 4: Describe the motion of the object in terms of advancing (forward) and/or retreating (backwards).
Example 5: Describe when the object is accelerating and/or decelerating. Example 6: is the object speeding up or slowing down at 1 second? justify answer. v(1)= negative a(1)= negative Since both v(1)<0 and a(1)<0 , the object is speeding up at t = 1 second
In problems 14-19 assume an object is moving rectilinearly in time according to s(t) = 4t2 – 6t + 1 meters over the time interval [0, 4] seconds. 14. Find the velocity, speed, and acceleration as functions of time and give the appropriate units of each. 15. What is the velocity at t = 1 sec? 16. What is the acceleration at t = 1 sec? 17. On what time interval(s) is the particle advancing (moving to the right) and retreating? Justify your answers. 18. What is the total distance traveled?
14. 15. 16. 17. 18.
Ex. A particle is moving along a line with its position at time t given by • Find: • Find the velocity function • Find v(0) and v(2) • When is the velocity 0? where is the particle at that time? • Is the particle speeding up or slowing down at t = 5 seconds. • Justify your answer.
The Average Speed = The Average Velocity = The Average acceleration =
e) What is Bugs speeding up or slowing down at 3 seconds? Justify your answer.
