A Honda Civic travels in a straight line along a road. The car’s distance x from a stop sign is given as a function of time t by the equationxt=αt2-βt3 where role="math" localid="1655226337795" α=1.50 m/s2androle="math" localid="1655226362269" β=0.0500m/s2 . Calculate the average velocity of the car for each time interval: (a) t = 0 to t = 2.00 s; (b) t = 0 to t = 4.00 s; (c) t = 2.00 s to t = 4.00 s.

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a)The average velocity of the car between t=0 s to t=2.00 s is.

(b)The average velocity of the car between t=0 s to t=4.00 s is.

(c)The average velocity of the car between t=2.00 s to t=4.00 s is .

Step by step solution

01

Identification of the given data

The distance function of the car is xt=αt2-βt3

α=1.50m/s2,andβ=0.0500m/s2

Therefore the distance function of the car will be

xt=1.50  m/s2×t2-0.0500 m/s2×t3

02

Step 2:(a) Calculation of the average velocity between t = 0 s to t = 2.00 s

The final time is, tf=2.00 s

The initial time is, ti=0s

Substituting these values in the distance function of the car gives,

The final position of the car is,

xtf=1.50  m/s2×(2.00s)2-0.0500 m/s2×(2.00s)3=5.6m

The initial position of the car is,

xti=1.50  m/s2×(0s)2-0.0500 m/s2×(0s)3=0m

Therefore, the average velocity can be expressed as,

vavgvelocity=xtf-xtitf-ti…â¶Ä¦â¶Ä¦â¶Ä¦â¶Ä¦â¶Ä¦..(¾±)

Substituting values in the equation (i), gives

vavgvelocity=5.6m-0m2.00s-0s=2.8m/s

Thus, the average velocity of the car isvavgvelocity=2.8m/s

03

 Step 3: (b) Calculation of the average velocitybetween t = 0 s to t = 4.00 s

The final time is,tf=4.00 s

The initial time is, ti=0s

The final position of the car is,

xtf=1.50  m/s2×(4.00s)2-0.0500 m/s2×(4.00s)3=20.8m

The initial position of the car is,

xti=1.50  m/s2×(0s)2-0.0500 m/s2×(0s)3=0m

Substituting these values in the equation (i) gives

vavgvelocity=20.8m-0m4.00s-0s=5.2m/s

Thus, the average velocity of the car isvavgvelocity=5.2m/s

04

(c) Calculation of the average velocitybetween t = 2.00 s to t = 4.00 s

The final time is, tf=4.00 s

The initial time is, ti=2.00s

The final position of the car is,

xtf=1.50  m/s2×(4.00s)2-0.0500 m/s2×(4.00s)3=20.8m

The initial position of the car is,

xti=1.50  m/s2×(2.00s)2-0.0500 m/s2×(2.00s)3=5.6m

Substituting these values in the equation (i) gives

vavgvelocity=20.8m-5.6m4.00s-2.00s=7.6m/s

Thus, the average velocity of the car isvavgvelocity=7.6m/s

A medical technician is trying to determine what percentage of a patient’s artery is blocked by plaque. To do this, she measures the blood pressure just before the region of blockage and finds that it is 1.20×104Pa, while in the region of blockage it is role="math" localid="1668168100834" 1.15×104Pa. Furthermore, she knows that blood flowing through the normal artery just before the point of blockage is traveling at 30.0 cm/s, and the specific gravity of this patient’s blood is 1.06. What percentage of the cross-sectional area of the patient’s artery is blocked by the plaque?
