Q. Consider the following problem:\newlineThe velocity of a pendulum changes at a rate of a(t)=0.9tcos(0.2t) a(t)=0.9^{t} \cos (0.2 t) meters per second squared (where t t is the time in seconds). At time t=6 t=6 , the velocity of the pendulum is 00.88 meters per second. By how much does the velocity change between t=6 t=6 and t=12 t=12 seconds?\newlineWhich expression can we use to solve the problem?\newlineChoose 11 answer:\newline(A) a(6)+0.8 a^{\prime}(6)+0.8 \newline(B) a(12) a^{\prime}(12) \newline(C) a(12)a(6) a^{\prime}(12)-a^{\prime}(6) \newline(D) 612a(t)dt \int_{6}^{12} a(t) d t
  1. Understand the problem: Understand the problem.\newlineWe are given the acceleration function a(t)=0.9tcos(0.2t)a(t) = 0.9^{t}\cos(0.2t) and the velocity at t=6t=6 seconds, which is 0.80.8 m/s. We need to find the change in velocity between t=6t=6 and t=12t=12 seconds.
  2. Identify the correct expression: Identify the correct expression to use.\newlineTo find the change in velocity, we need to integrate the acceleration function over the time interval from t=6t=6 to t=12t=12 seconds. The correct expression to use is the definite integral of the acceleration function from t=6t=6 to t=12t=12.
  3. Write down the integral: Write down the integral that represents the change in velocity. The change in velocity (Δv\Delta v) is given by the integral of the acceleration function from t=6t=6 to t=12t=12, which is Δv=t=6t=12a(t)dt\Delta v = \int_{t=6}^{t=12} a(t) \, dt.
  4. Calculate the integral: Calculate the integral.\newlineWe need to calculate the integral Δv=t=6t=120.9tcos(0.2t)dt\Delta v = \int_{t=6}^{t=12} 0.9^{t}\cos(0.2t) \, dt. This is a non-trivial integral that typically requires numerical methods or a calculator to solve.
  5. Choose the correct answer: Choose the correct answer based on the integral.\newlineThe correct expression that represents the change in velocity is given by the integral of the acceleration function from t=6t=6 to t=12t=12. Therefore, the correct choice is:\newline(D) t=6t=12a(t)dt\int_{t=6}^{t=12} a(t) \, dt.
