QuestionFind the car's acceleration at seconds given . Answer in .
Studdy Solution
STEP 1
Assumptions1. The position of the car is given by the function . We need to find the acceleration of the car at seconds3. The acceleration is the second derivative of the position function
STEP 2
First, we need to find the velocity of the car, which is the first derivative of the position function.
STEP 3
Now, calculate the first derivative of the position function.
STEP 4
Apply the power rule for differentiation to each term of the function.
STEP 5
Now, we need to find the acceleration of the car, which is the second derivative of the position function, or the first derivative of the velocity function.
STEP 6
Now, calculate the first derivative of the velocity function.
STEP 7
Apply the power rule for differentiation to each term of the function.
STEP 8
Now that we have the acceleration function, we can find the acceleration of the car at seconds by plugging into the acceleration function.
STEP 9
Calculate the acceleration at seconds.
The acceleration of the car at seconds is .
