Q. A particle travels along the x-axis such that its velocity is given by v(t)=t2sin(2t). Find all times when the speed of the particle is equal to 3 on the interval 0≤t≤4. You may use a calculator and round your answer to the nearest thousandth.Answer: t=
Understand Speed vs Velocity: Understand the relationship between speed and velocity. Speed is the absolute value of velocity. Therefore, to find when the speed is equal to 3, we need to solve the equation ∣v(t)∣=3.
Set up Equation for t: Set up the equation to solve for t. We have v(t)=t2sin(2t), so we need to solve ∣t2sin(2t)∣=3.
Solve Equation Using Calculator: Solve the equation for t using a calculator.Since this equation is not easily solvable by algebraic methods, we will use a calculator to find the values of t in the interval [0,4] that satisfy the equation. We are looking for points where the graph of y=t2sin(2t) crosses y=3 and y=−3.
Check Calculator's Solutions: Check the calculator's solutions.After using the calculator, we find that the graph of y=t2⋅sin(2t) crosses y=3 and y=−3 at certain points within the interval [0,4]. We round these solutions to the nearest thousandth.
Verify Solutions in Interval: Verify the solutions are within the given interval.We need to ensure that the solutions obtained from the calculator are within the interval 0≤t≤4.
List Valid Times: List all valid times t. Assuming the calculator gave us valid times within the interval, we list these times as the final answer.
