Question
The function
s=t3−12t2+48t​,
0≤t≤5​,
gives the position of a body moving on a coordinate​ line, with s in meters and t in seconds.
a. Find the​ body's displacement and average velocity for the given time interval.
b. Find the​ body's speed and acceleration at the endpoints of the interval.
c.​ When, if​ ever, during the interval does the body change​ direction?
Expert Solution
Step 1

s(t)=t3-12t2+48t          0tsa.Now displacement d=s(s)-s(0)=-12*52+48*S-0+0=-60 unitaverage velocity Varg=dt=-605-0=-12 unit/timeb. differentiating s(t)=-12t2+48t+48t we getv(t)=dsdt=-24t+48 unit/timea(t)=d2sdt2=-24 unit/timeso at t=0, v(0)=48 unit/timea(0)=-24 unit/time2at t=5 |v(5)|=|-24*5+48|=72 unit/timea(5)=-24 unit/timec.The direction of the body determined by itsvelocity. when body moving forward then velocityis positive and for moving backward velocitis negative
