A particle moves according to a law of motion
s = f(t), t ≥ 0,
where t is measured in seconds and s in feet.
f(t) = t3 − 9t2 + 15t
(a) Find the velocity at time t.
v(t) =
(b) What is the velocity after 4 s?
v(4) = ft/s
(c) When is the particle at rest?
t = s (smaller value) |
t = s (larger value) |
(d) When is the particle moving in the positive direction? (Enter
your answer in interval notation.)
t
(e) Find the total distance traveled during the first 6 s.
ft
(f) Find the acceleration at time t.
a(t) =
Find the acceleration after 4 s.
a(4) = ft/s2
(g) Graph the position, velocity, and acceleration functions for
the first 6 s.
(h) When, for
0 ≤ t < ∞,
is the particle speeding up? (Enter your answer in interval notation.)
When, for
0 ≤ t < ∞,
is it slowing down? (Enter your answer in interval notation.)
