I. If s’(t) = v(t), and s’’(t) = a(t), use the fact that integration reverses differentiation (+C) and the given information about s(t) to find the particular solution to the following problem. If a model rocket’s velocity is given by a(t)= -32 m/s2 and v(0)= 10 and position at 1 second is 1,000 m, find s(t). Hint: Integrate a(t) to find v(t), then integratev(t) to find s(t), finding each C using the given info.

Suppose you are in a rocket with no windows, traveling in deep space far from other objects. Without looking outside the rocket or making any contact with the outside world, explain how you could determine whether the rocket is (a) moving forward at a constant 80% of the speed of light and (b) accelerating in the forward direction.

After a ball rolls off the edge of a horizontal table at time t = 0, its velocity as a function of time is given by v=1.2i9.8tj where v is in meters per second and t is in seconds. The balls displacement away from the edge of the table, during the time interval of 0.380 s for which the ball is in flight, is given by r=00.3803vdt To perform the integral, you can use the calculus theorem [A+Bf(x)]dx=Adx+Bf(x)dx You can think of the units and unit vectors as constants, represented by A and B. Perform the integration to calculate the displacement of the ball from the edge of the table at 0.380 s.
To decide who pays for lunch, a passengeron a moving train tosses a coin straight upward with an initialspeed of 5.25 m>s and catches it again when it returns to its initial level. From the point of view of the passenger, then, the coin’sinitial velocity is 15.25 m>s 2yn . The train’s velocity relative to theground is 112.1 m>s2xn . (a) What is the minimum speed of the coinrelative to the ground during its flight? At what point in the coin’sflight does this minimum speed occur? Explain. (b) Find the initial speed and direction of the coin as seen by an observer on theground. (c) Use the expression for ymax derived in Example 4-14 tocalculate the maximum height of the coin, as seen by an observeron the ground. (d) What is the maximum height of the coin fromthe point of view of the passenger, who sees only one-dimensionalmotion?
