Velocity to displacement An object travels on the 𝓍-axis with a velocity given by v(t) = 2t + 5, for 0 ≤ t ≤ 4.


(c) True or false: The object would travel as far as in part (a) if it traveled at its average velocity (a constant), for 0 ≤ t ≤ 4. .

Step 1: Understand the problem. The velocity function v(t) = 2t + 5 represents the instantaneous velocity of the object at time t. To determine if the object would travel the same distance at its average velocity, we need to compare the displacement using the instantaneous velocity and the displacement using the average velocity.
Step 2: Calculate the displacement using the instantaneous velocity. Displacement is the integral of velocity over time. Set up the integral: ∫[0 to 4] v(t) dt = ∫[0 to 4] (2t + 5) dt. Use the rules of integration to compute this integral.
Step 3: Find the average velocity. The average velocity over the interval [0, 4] is given by the formula: v_avg = (1 / (b - a)) ∫[a to b] v(t) dt, where a = 0 and b = 4. Substitute the values and compute the average velocity.
Step 4: Calculate the displacement using the average velocity. Displacement at constant velocity is given by: displacement = v_avg × time. Multiply the average velocity by the total time interval (4 seconds).
Step 5: Compare the two displacements. If the displacement calculated using the instantaneous velocity matches the displacement calculated using the average velocity, the statement is true. Otherwise, it is false.

Concetti chiave

Ecco i concetti essenziali che devi comprendere per rispondere correttamente alla domanda.

Velocity and Displacement

Velocity is the rate of change of displacement with respect to time, indicating how fast an object is moving and in which direction. Displacement, on the other hand, is the overall change in position of the object. Understanding the relationship between these two concepts is crucial for analyzing motion, as displacement can be calculated by integrating the velocity function over a given time interval.

Using The Velocity Function

Average Velocity

Average velocity is defined as the total displacement divided by the total time taken. It represents a constant velocity that would result in the same displacement as the actual varying velocity over a specific time interval. In this context, calculating the average velocity over the interval from t = 0 to t = 4 is essential to determine if the object would travel the same distance as when using the instantaneous velocity function.

Integration

Integration is a fundamental concept in calculus used to find the area under a curve, which in the context of motion, corresponds to calculating displacement from a velocity function. By integrating the velocity function v(t) = 2t + 5 over the interval [0, 4], one can determine the total displacement of the object. This process is key to answering questions about the distance traveled by the object during the specified time period.
