s(t) = 2t3 - 24t
s'(t) = 6t2 - 24
s"(t) = 12t
What is acceleration when time is 30 minutes.
Acceleration at time t (in hours) is s"(t).
s"(1/2) = 6 km/h2
Whatis average rate of change in velocity during first 4 hours?
Velocity at time t is s'(t).
During the first 4 hours velocity change was s'(4) - s'(0).
Therefore the average rate of change is
(s'(4) - s'(0)) / 4 = ((6 × 42 - 24) - (-24)) /4 = 24 km/h2
What is instantaneous rate of change in displacement when time is 60 minutes?
Rate of change in displacement at time t (in hours) is s'(t). At time 60 minutes:
s'(1) = 6 × 12 - 24 = -18 km/h
That is at time 60 minutes the particle is moving backwards at the speed of 18 km/h
