Q. A particle travels along the x-axis such that its acceleration is given by a(t)=t0.3+3cos(t−5). If the velocity of the particle is v=−5 when t=0, what is the velocity of the particle when t=5 ? You may use a calculator and round your answer to the nearest thousandth.Answer:
Integrate acceleration function: To find the velocity of the particle at t=5, we need to integrate the acceleration function a(t) from t=0 to t=5. The velocity function v(t) is the integral of the acceleration function a(t) plus the constant of integration, which is the initial velocity v(0)=−5.
Write integral of acceleration function: First, we write down the integral of the acceleration function from t=0 to t=5: v(t)=∫05(t0.3+3cos(t−5))dt+v(0)
Evaluate integrals and initial velocity: We integrate the function term by term. The integral of t0.3 with respect to t is (t1.3)/(1.3) and the integral of 3cos(t−5) with respect to t is 3sin(t−5). We will evaluate these integrals from 0 to 5 and add the initial velocity −5.
Calculate velocity function: The velocity function v(t) from t=0 to t=5 is:v(t) = \left[\frac{t^{\(1\).\(3\)}}{\(1\).\(3\)}\right]_{\(0\)}^{\(5\)} + \left[\(3\sin(t−5)\right]_{0}^{5} - 5
Evaluate velocity at t=5: We evaluate the integrals at the upper and lower limits and subtract the lower limit result from the upper limit result for each term: v(\(5) = \left[\frac{(5^{1.3})}{1.3} - \frac{(0^{1.3})}{1.3}\right] + \left[3\sin(5−5) - 3\sin(0−5)\right] - 5
Perform final calculations: Now we calculate each term using a calculator:v(5)=[1.351.3−0]+[3sin(0)−3sin(−5)]−5v(5)=[1.351.3]+[0−3sin(−5)]−5
Round the answer: We know that sin(0)=0 and we use a calculator to find sin(−5) and 51.3. We then perform the calculations:v(5)=1.351.3−3sin(−5)−5v(5)≈1.351.3−3×(−0.958924)−5v(5)≈9.848857−2.876772−5v(5)≈9.848857−2.876772−5v(5)≈6.972085
Round the answer: We know that sin(0)=0 and we use a calculator to find sin(−5) and 51.3. We then perform the calculations:v(5)=1.351.3−3sin(−5)−5v(5)≈1.351.3−3∗(−0.958924)−5v(5)≈9.848857−2.876772−5v(5)≈9.848857−2.876772−5v(5)≈6.972085Rounding the answer to the nearest thousandth, we get:v(5)≈6.972
