Position, Velocity, and Acceleration Review- 3-C
Position: Velocity: Acceleration:
Acceleration vs Velocity • If the signs are the same, then the particle’s speed is increasing • If the signs are opposite, then the particle’s speed is decreasing • If the velocity is zero and acceleration is not zero, then the particle is momentarily stopped and changing directions.
Velocity • If v(t) > 0 then the particle is moving to the right • If v(t) < 0 then the particle is moving to the left • If v(t) = 0 then the particle has momentarily stopped or is changing directions
The position of a particle moving along the x - axis at time t is given by for 0≤ t ≤ 20 a) Determine when the particle is moving to the left?
The position of a particle moving along the x - axis at time t is given by for 0≤ t ≤ 20 b) Determine when the particle changes direction and find its position.
The position of a particle moving along the x - axis at time t is given by for 0≤ t ≤ 20 c) Determine when the particle is speeding up?
The position of a particle moving along the x - axis at time t is given by for 0≤ t ≤ 20 d) find the total distance travelled
An object is moving along the x-axis according to for t ≥ 0 find all intervals during which the object is moving in a positive direction.
An object is moving along the x-axis according to for 0≤ t ≤ 6 find the intervals during which the object is speeding up.
4) If find the total distance traveled by the particle on the interval (0,4).
