前女友ample Question #1 :Velocity

If during the first 15 seconds of its flight the displacement of a spacecraft is given by the equation 21.25x+ x2feet, what is its velocity at 10 seconds, given that its initial velocity is 0?

Possible Answers:

None of the other answers

1.25 * 212.5+ 20 feet/second

1.25 * 212.5* log(2) + 100 feet/second

21.25+ 20 feet/second

1.25 * 212.5* log(2) + 20 feet/second

Correct answer:

1.25 * 212.5* log(2) + 20 feet/second

前女友planation:

To find the velocity function based on displacement, use the first derivative of f(x) = 21.25x+ x2. f'(x) = 1.25 * ln(2) * 21.25x+ 2x

The velocity at x = 10 would therefore be: f'(10) = 1.25 * log(2) * 21.25 * 10+ 2 * 10 = 1.25 * 212.5* log(2) + 20 feet/second

前女友ample Question #2 :Velocity

What is the instantaneous velocity at time t = π/2 of a particle whose positional equation is represented by s(t) = 12tan(t/2 + π)?

Possible Answers:

6

6√2

12

3√2

12√2

Correct answer:

12

前女友planation:

The instantaneous velocity is represented by the first derivative of the positional equation.

v(t) = s'(t) = 12 * (1/2) sec2(t/2 + π) = 6sec2(t/2 + π) = 6/cos2(t/2 + π) = 6/((–1)2cos2(t/2)) = 6/cos2(t/2)

Based on the nature of the cosine, we know that 6/cos2(t/2 + π) = 6/((–1)2cos2(t/2)) = 6/cos2(t/2)

To solve, v(π/2) = 6/cos2(t/2) = 6/((1/√2)2) = 6/(1/2) = 12

前女友ample Question #3 :Velocity

什么是瞬时速度时间t =π/ 2 of a particle whose positional equation is represented by s(t) = 12cos2(t/2 + π)?

Possible Answers:

–12

2√3

0

2

–6

Correct answer:

–6

前女友planation:

The instantaneous velocity is represented by the first derivative of the positional equation. This is found by using the chain rule both on the square of the cosine function and the function itself.

v(t) = s'(t) = 12 * 2 cos(t/2 + π) * (–sin(t/2 + π)) * (1/2) = –12cos(t/2 + π)sin(t/2 + π)

Given what we know about the cosine and sine functions, we know cos(t/2 + π) = –cos(t/2) and sin(t/2 + π) = –sin(t/2)

Therefore, v(t) = –12(–sin(t/2))(–cos(t/2)) = –12sin(t/2)cos(t/2)

v(π/2) = –12sin(π/4)cos(π/4) = –12(1/√2)(1/√2) = –12 * (1/2) = –6

前女友ample Question #4 :Velocity

A weight hanging from a spring is stretched down 3 units beyond its rest position and released at timet=0 to bob up and down. Its position at any later timetis

前女友ample Question #5 :Velocity

The positionof a particle at timeis given by. What is the particle's velocity at time

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

前女友planation:

The velocity function is given by the derivative of the position function. So here. Plugging 3 in forgives 16.

前女友ample Question #6 :Velocity

The position of a particle is given by. Find the velocity at.

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

前女友planation:

The velocity is given as the derivative of the position function, or

.

We can use the quotient rule to find the derivative of the position function and then evaluate that at. The quotient rule states that

.

In this case,and.

We can now substitute these values in to get

.

Evalusting this atgives us.

So the answer is.
