A snowboarder starts from rest at the top of a double black diamond hill. As she rides down the slope, GPS coordinates are used to determine her displacement as a function of time: x = 0.5t^3 + t^2 + 2t, where x and t are expressed in feet and seconds, respectively. x is measured along the surface of the hill. Determine the position, velocity, and acceleration of the boarder when t = 5 seconds.
A Based on observations, the speed of a jogger can be approximated by the relation v = 6.4 (1 − 0.03x)0.4 , where v and x are expressed in mi/h and miles, respectively. Knowing that x = 0 at t = 0, determine (a) the distance the jogger has run when t =1.5 h, (b) the jogger’s acceleration in ft/s2 at t = 0, (c) the time required for the jogger to run 5 mi.
The velocity of a particle, measured from a rectangular coordinate system (X, Y, Z)is given by ? = [t3i + 8t2j + (5t + 2) k ]m/s, where t is given in seconds. If the particle is at the origin (x = 0, y = 0, z = 0) when t = 0 s, determine:
(a) The intensity of the particle velocity when t = 4 s
(b) The intensity of the particle acceleration when t = 4 s
