Question
A particle moves along the x-axis so that its velocity at any time t β₯ 0 is given by
π£(π‘) = (2πβ 5)π‘β sin(ππ‘)
A. Find the acceleration at any time t.
B. Find the minimum acceleration of the particle over the interval [0, 3].
C. Find the maximum velocity of the particle over the interval [0, 2].
π£(π‘) = (2πβ 5)π‘β sin(ππ‘)
A. Find the acceleration at any time t.
B. Find the minimum acceleration of the particle over the interval [0, 3].
C. Find the maximum velocity of the particle over the interval [0, 2].
Answers
A. no difficulty here.
a(t) = v'(t) = (2Ο-5) - Οcos(Οt)
B. Now find where a'(t) = 0 and a"(t) > 0
C. find where v'=0 and v" < 0
