Question

This is an ungraded practice prompt. 

A particle travels along the horizontal axis such that its velocity, v(t), in meters per second, at time t is
given by the function v(t) = 100 - for 0 sts 20. The position of the particle is given by x(t), and
x(0) = 5.
a) Find v '(12). Explain what this value indicates in terms of the context.
b) Estimate the velocity of the particle at t = 12.1 seconds using a linear approximation at t = 12.
c) Find the time k for which the average acceleration of the particle over the interval k sts 20 is –1
m/s. Justify your answer.
d) Write, but do not solve, an equation that gives the time n at which the particle will be at a position
of 100 meters.
