- Frictional Force The frictional force F between the tires and the road required to keep a car on a curved section of a highway is directly proportional to the square of the speed s of the car. If the speed of the car is doubled, the force will change by what factor?arrow_forwardVelocity A car is moving along a straight test track. The position in feet of the car, s(t), at various times t is measured, with the following results. Find and interpret the average velocities for the following changes in t. a. 0to2seconds b. 2to4seconds c. 4to6seconds d. 6to8seconds e. Estimate the instatneous velocity at 4 seconds. i. by finding the average velocity between 2 and 6 seconds, and ii. by averageing the answers for the average velocity in the two seconds before and the two seconds after that is, the answers to parts b and c. f. Estimate the instantaneous velocity at 6 seconds using the two methods in part e. g. Notice in parts e and f that your two answers are the same. Discuss whether this will always be the case, and why or why not.arrow_forwardaThe average rate of change of a function f between x=a and x=b is the slope of the ___________ line between (a,f(a)) and (b,f(b)).arrow_forward
