IS ANYONE HERE TO HELP!!

geerky42 (geerky42):

Do you know what velocity of particle is in moment it reverses direction?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can someone please explain it to me??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Michele_Laino helloo

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

I think that the inversion points are those points for which: \[\frac{ ds }{ dt }=0\] so first, find the function ds/dt, then find the values of t at which ds/dt=0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you please do it with me..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Michele_Laino

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3t^2-24t+45=0 t^2-8t+15=0 \[t=\frac{ 8\pm \sqrt{64-60} }{ 2 }=\frac{ 8\pm2 }{ 2 }=3,5\] find \[\frac{ d^2s }{ dt^2 } at~t=3 and~t=5\]

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

answer of @surjithayer is right, then write the function \[\frac{ d ^{2}s }{ dt ^{2} }\] @mondona

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Michele_Laino wait what? what do i do next?

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

please your function, namely s(t) is: \[s(t)=t ^{3}-12t ^{2}+45t+4\] so you have to calculate the function ds/dt, namely the derivative over time of s(t), please try to calculate ds/dt

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the derivative of that is 3(t^2-8t+15)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

right?? can you just write it step by step, i dont really understand your explanation.. @Michele_Laino

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

that's right, now, in my mind I think that the inversion points are those at which ds/dt=0, so please solve the equation ds/dt=0, using the function you have just found

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok idont know

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Loser66

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

@surjithayer has made our calculus, you have to solve the equation: 3(t^2-8t+15)=0 try please

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3t^2-24t+45=0

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

yes!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and then?

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

please solve the quadratic equation above!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

when t=3 , 0

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

noo, please retry

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and i got 0 when t=5 also..

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

ok! Our times are t=3 and t=5, so calculate s(t) at those times, namely insert t=3 and t=5 into the function for s(t)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got 58 for t=3

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

right!, now try with t=5 please!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

54

OpenStudy (loser66):

Can I say something? @Michele_Laino

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then what is next? @Michele_Laino

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

that's right! you got the answer to the first part of your question. Now to answer to the second part of your question, you have to calculate the second derivative of s(t), namely the function: \[\frac{ d ^{2} s}{ dt ^{2} }\]

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

@Loser66 you are welcome!

OpenStudy (loser66):

@mondona you know that s(t) is position function (s (t))'= v(t) is velocity function (s(t))'' = a(t) is accelerate function. right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

58 and 54 are the position?..

OpenStudy (loser66):

So that, the question is about the time the motion "reverse direction" , that is the key.

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

@mondona that's right, now you have to find the acceleration at t=3 and at t=5

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

@mondona because you have found them inserting t=3 and t=5 into the function s(t), and the function s(t), from the text of your problem, is the position of your particle

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

please you have to calculate the function:

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

\[\frac{ d ^{2} s}{ dt ^{2} }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you show me?

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

if s'(t)=3t^2-24t+45, then s''(t)=...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

6(t-4)

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

that's right!

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

now, please insert t=3, and t=5 into the function s''(t), and you will get acceleration at the same times, or the answer to the second part of your question

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

perfect! ,don't forget to indicate the right measure units, for acceleration and position respectively!

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

m/sec^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and position? (:

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

meters

OpenStudy (anonymous):

than you!!

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

thank you!
