MT1013 - Calculus and Analytical Geometry Exercise 7

This document contains 8 questions regarding calculus concepts such as displacement, velocity, acceleration, and related rates for objects moving along an x-axis. The questions involve analyzing equations describing position, velocity, acceleration, and other variables over time intervals to determine values at specific times, maximum/minimum values, times when certain conditions are met, total distances traveled, and the effects of changing variables on motion.

Exercise 7
Q 1. In the following questions the position s = f (t) of a body moving on a coordinate
line, with s in meters and t in seconds are given:

(a) Find the body’s displacement and average velocity for the given time inter-
val.
(b) Find the body’s speed and acceleration at the endpoints of the interval.
(c) When, if ever, during the interval does the body change direction?

i) s = t 2 − 3t + 2 , 0 ≤ t ≤ 2. iv) s = −t 3 + 3t 2 − 3t , 0 ≤ t ≤ 3.

ii) s = 6t − t 2 , 0 ≤ t ≤ 6. v) s = 2 − , 1 ≤ t ≤ 5.

iii) s = − t + t , 0 ≤ t ≤ 3. vi) s = , −4 ≤ t ≤ 0.

Q 2. At time t, the position of a body moving along the s-axis is

s = t 3 − 6t 2 + 9t m.

(a) Find the body’s acceleration each time the velocity is zero.
(b) Find the body’s speed each time the acceleration is zero.
(c) Find the total distance traveled by the body from t = 0 to t = 2.

Q 3. At time t the velocity of a body moving along the s-axis is

v = t 2 − 4t + 3.

(a) Find the body’s acceleration each time the velocity is zero.
(b) When is the body moving forward? Backward?
(c) When is the body’s velocity increasing? Decreasing?

Q 4. A rock thrown vertically upward from the surface of the moon at a velocity of
24 m/sec. (about 86 km/h) reaches a height of

s = 24t − 0.8t 2 meters in t sec.

(a) Find the rock’s velocity and acceleration at time t. (The acceleration in this
case is the acceleration of gravity on the moon.)
(b) How long does it take the rock to reach its highest point?
(c) How high does the rock go?
(d) How long does it take the rock to reach half its maximum height?
(e) How long is the rock aloft?

Q 5. The equations for free-fall at the surfaces of Mars and Jupiter (s in meters and t
in seconds) are

s = 1.86t 2 (on Mars), and s = 11.44t 2 on Jupiter,

Write down a similar equation for free-fall on the surface of earth. How long
does it take a rock falling from rest to reach a velocity of 27.8 m/sec. on each
planet?

Q 6. A dynamite blast blows a heavy rock straight up with a launch velocity of 160
ft/sec (about 109 mph). It reaches a height of

s = 160t − 16t 2

feet after t seconds.

(a) How high does the rock go?


(b) What are the velocity and speed of the rock when it is 256 ft above the
ground on the way up? On the way down?
(c) What is the acceleration of the rock at any time t during its flight (after the
blast)?
(d) When does the rock hit the ground again?

Q 7. Suppose that it costs


c(x) = x3 − 6x2 + 15x
dollars to produce x radiators when 8 to 30 radiators are produced and that

r(x) = x3 − 3x2 + 12x

gives the dollar revenue from selling x radiators. Your shop currently produces
10 radiators a day. About how much extra will it cost to produce one more radia-
tor a day, and what is your estimated increase in revenue for selling 11 radiators
a day?

Q 8. Suppose that a piston is moving straight up and down and that its position at
time t sec is
s = A cos(2πbt),
with A and b positive. The value of A is the amplitude of the motion, and b is the
frequency (number of times the piston moves up and down each second). What
effect does doubling the frequency have on the piston’s velocity, acceleration, and
jerk? (Once you find out, you will know why machinery breaks when you run it
too fast.)
