Real Life ie rate of change

  1. The displacement s of a piston during each 8-s is given by s = 8t -t^2. For what value of t is the velocity of the piston 4?
  2. The distance s travelled by a subway train after the brakes are applied is given by s = 20t -2t^2 How far does it travel after the brakes are applied in coming to a stop?
  3. Water is being drained from a pond such that the volume V of water in the pond after t hours is given by V = 50t(60-t^2). Find the rate at which the pond is being drained after 4 hours.
  4. The electric field E at a distance r from a point charge is E=k/r^2 where k is a constant. Find an expression for the instantaneous rate of change of the electric field with respect to r.
  5. The altitude h of a certain rocket as a function of the time t after launching is given by h = 550t - 4.9 t^2. What is the maximum altitude the rocket attains?
  6. The blade of a saber saw moves vertically up and down and its displacement is given by y = 1.85 sin t. Find the velocity of the blade for t=0.2
  7. Differentiate y = 7sin x + 4x^2 +1

  1. s=8t-t^2
    ds/dt= 8-2t
    when s = 4
    4= 8-2t
    4-8= -2t
    -4= -2t
    -4/-2= t
    2=t
    please tell me if im wrong i kinda try ah ting here

  2. Your final answer is correct BUT the working is not quite correct
    s=8t-t^2
    WHAT IS ds/dt rate of change of distance wrt time
    hat's right, velocity so differentiating is the way to go
    ds/dt= 8-2t
    Here is where you went wrong
    when s = 4 when dist = 4 BUT dist is not given but let say it was why then did you not put dist as 4 you said s=4 but what you actually did was put ds/dt = 4 so from here you would be given wrong which is unfortunate since you final answer is correct
    when s = 4
    4= 8-2t
    4-8= -2t
    -4= -2t
    -4/-2= t
    2=t

  3. i doh understand miss.. what exactly was i supposed to do then?

  4. Zoe stay calm you can do it
    Practice the differentiation of polynomial
    you did do that correct
    you error was question said velocity = 4
    and v = ds/dt
    But you said the wrrong thing but did the correct thing
    you will do well

  5. s=8t-t^2
    then ds/dt= 8-2t
    so when s=4
    suds into the equ.
    4=8-2t
    2t=8-4
    2t=4
    therefore t=4/2
    =2
    so then t is 2

    i.e using loop
    ds/dt=8-2t
    i.e when ds/dt=4 sub.
    4=8-2t
    8-2t=4
    -2t=8-4
    t=8-4/2
    t=4/2

  11. 1. s = 8t -t^2

    when ds/dt = 4
    4 = 8 - 2t

    -2t = -4
    t = -4/-2
    t = 2

  12. s=20t-2t^2
    ds/dt=20-4t when ds/dt=0
    0= 20-4t
    t= -20/4
    t= -5
    sub t= -5
    s= 20(-5)-2(-5)^2
    s= -100 - 50
    s= -150
    distance is cannot be negative
    therefore s= 150
    p.s. my answer could be wrong.... help me if you can!

  18. 5. h = 550t - 4.9t^2
    dh/dt = 550 - 9.8t

    following the method of "d blackman"...

    when dh/dt = 0
    550 - 9.8t = 0
    -9.8t = -550
    t = 56.12

    susbt t = 56.12

    h = 550t - 4.9t^2
    h = 550(56.12) - 4.9*(56.12^2)
    h = 30866 - 15432.32656
    h = 15433.67344
    h = 15433.7

    ∴ maximum height = 15433.7

  22. Well zoe as i said in my comment, i did what d blackman did. He first solved for 't' which happens to be the same variable in this equation as in his, but yeah solve for 't' and substitute the value you got into the original equation. Just like when you want to find the 'y' value at an 'x' point in any normal equation. First you find the 'x' value or values, in this case one value because 550 - 9.8t = 0 is not a quadratic equation and substitute them into your original equation. It's just that in this case its 'h' which is normally 'y' and 't' which is normally 'x'. Does that help any?

    P.S. sorry for using the word equation so much. And also i have to say that neither me nor d blackman are 1000000000000% sure that this is correct but from a logical standpoint it certainly seems so.

  72. Q1.
    s = 8t -t^2
    ds/dt = 8 - 2t
    v = ds/dt
    When v = 4 :
    4 = ds/dt
    therefore
    4 = 8 - 2t
    2t = 8 - 4
    2t = 4
    t = 2

  73. Q2.
    ds/dt = speed

    s = 20t -2t^2
    ds/dt = 20 - 4t
    When ds/dt = 0 the train will stop
    hence:
    0 = 20 - 4t
    4t = 20
    t = 5

  74. The distance s travelled by a subway train after the brakes are applied is given by s = 20t -2t^2 How far does it travel after the brakes are applied in coming to a stop?
    s=20t-2t^2
    ds/dt=20-4t
    ds/dt=0
    0=20-4t
    4t=20
    t=20/4
    t=5


    Water is being drained from a pond such that the volume V of water in the pond after t hours is given by V = 50t(60-t^2). Find the rate at which the pond is being drained after 4 hours.
    v=50t(60-t^2)
    v=(50t)(60)- (50t)(t^2)
    v=3000t-50t^3
    dv/dt=3000-150t^2
    :.=3000-150(4)^2
    dv/dt=3000-150(16)
    dv/dt=3000-2400
    dv/dt=600

    The blade of a saber saw moves vertically up and down and its displacement is given by y = 1.85 sin t. Find the velocity of the blade for t=0.2
    Differentiate y = 7sin x + 4x^2 +1

    y=7sin x+4x^2+1
    dy/dx= 7cos x +8x

    s=20t-2t^2
    ds/dt=20-4t at stop ds/dt= 0
    0= 20-4t
    t= -20/4
    t= 5
    sub t= 5
    s= 20(5)-2(5)^2
    s= 100 - 50
    s= 50

    therefore s= 50

  77. = 50t(60 - t^2)
    V = 3000t - 50t^3
    dv/dt = 3000 - 150t^2

    when t=4
    dv/dt= 3000 - 150(4)^2
    dv/dt = 3000 - 150(16)
    dv/dt = 3000 - 2400
    dv/dt = 600

    the volume of water in the pnd will be changing at a rate of 600 after 4 hours

    This is for question 3 is this correct ????

  78. ds/dt = speed

    s = 20t -2t^2
    ds/dt = 20 - 4t
    When ds/dt = 0 the train will stop
    hence:
    0 = 20 - 4t
    4t = 20

    does this cover the rate of brakes appliesd
    t = 5

  79. s=8t-t^2
    then ds/dt= 8-2t
    so when s=4
    suds into the equ.
    4=8-2t
    2t=8-4
    2t=4
    therefore t=4/2
    =2
