Calculus IA Section 2, Part B 4. A particle moves along the x-axis with position at time t given by x (t) = e-t sin t for 0 ≤ t ≤ 2π. (a) Find the time t at which the particle is farthest to the left. Justify your answer. Answer: x’ (t) =e-t sin t + e-t cos t = e¬¬¬-t (cos t – sin t); x’ (t) = 0 when cos t = sin t. Therefore, x’ (t) = 0 on 0 ≤ t ≤ 2 π for t = π/4 and t = 5 π/4. For the absolute minimum are at t = 0, π/4, 5 π/4 and 2 π. The particle is farthest to the left when t = 5 π/4. (b) Find the value of the constant A for which x (t) satisfies the equation Ax’’ (t) + x’ (t) + x (t) = 0 for 0 < t < 2 π. Answer: x’ (t) = -e-t (cos t – sin t) + e-t (-sin t – cos t) = -2e-t cos t ; Ax’’(t) + x’ (t) + x (t) = A (-2e-t cos t) + e-t (cos t – sin t) + e-t sin t = (-2A + 1) e-t cos t = 0; therefore, A = 1/2 5. The volume of a spherical hot air balloon expands as the air inside the balloon is heated. The radius of the balloon, in feet, is modeled by a twice-differentiable function r of time t, where t is measured in minutes. For 0 < t < 12, the graph of r is concave down. The table above gives selected value of the rate of change, r’ (t), of the radius of the balloon over the time interval 0 < t < 12. The radius of the balloon is 30 feet when t=5. (a) Estimate the radius of the balloon when t = 5.4 using the tangent line approximation at t =5. Is your estimate greater than less than the true value? Give a reason for your answer. Answer: r (5.4) = r (5) (t) = 30 + 2 (0.4) =

By using Eq (4.4) we can calculate for a [a= m/M+m * g, a = (20 g /(283.2 g + 20 g)) * 9.81 m/s2= 0.646 m/s2]. The value of a (a= 0.5067 m/s2 +/- 0.01709 m/s2) we calculated for is not consistent with the expected value of 0.646 m/s2. As stated before, the probably cause of the inconsistency is the slight discrepancy during the experiment.
B. The particle changes directions when the velocity changes from positive to negative or from negative to positive. There is only one critical value and it occurs at t = 4.09624. Evaluating v(t), we see that on [0,10], v(t) < 0 for t < 4.096 and v(t) > 0 for t > 4.096 so the particle must change direction at t =

x(t) is the displacement from its rest position in meters, m is the mass of the object in kilograms, β is the damping constant in kg/second, k is the spring constant in kg/sec2, and f(t) is the external force in Newtons (N). The mass of the satellite is 1800 kg and the satellite is at equilibrium when the trailer is loaded. Before the trailer is loaded, the displacement of the shocks is 0.05 meters, so the starting displacement is 0.05.
Test the C.N. using the first or second derivative and then answer the following questions:
How much longer did the balloon stay in the air? (Use subtraction to find the answer by subtracting the number of seconds when thrown minus the number of seconds when dropped.)
