Cycling distance A cyclist rides down a long straight road with a velocity (in m/min) given by v(t) = 400−20t, for 0≤t≤10, where t is measured in minutes.


b. How far does the cyclist travel in the first 10 min?

Guida verificata passo dopo passo
1
Identify the velocity function given: \(v(t) = 400 - 20t\), where \(t\) is in minutes and \(v(t)\) is in meters per minute.
Recall that the distance traveled over a time interval can be found by integrating the velocity function over that interval. So, the distance \(D\) traveled from \(t=0\) to \(t=10\) is given by the definite integral \(D = \int_0^{10} v(t) \, dt\).
Set up the integral explicitly: \(D = \int_0^{10} (400 - 20t) \, dt\).
Integrate the function term-by-term: the integral of \(400\) with respect to \(t\) is \$400t$, and the integral of $-20t$ with respect to $t$ is $-10t^2$.
Evaluate the resulting expression \(400t - 10t^2\) at the upper limit \(t=10\) and subtract the value at the lower limit \(t=0\) to find the total distance traveled.

Concetti chiave

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

Velocity as a Function of Time

Velocity describes the rate of change of position with respect to time. In this problem, velocity is given as a function v(t) = 400 - 20t, which means the cyclist's speed changes linearly over time from 400 m/min to 200 m/min during the first 10 minutes.

Using The Velocity Function

Definite Integral for Displacement

The total distance traveled over a time interval can be found by integrating the velocity function over that interval. The definite integral of v(t) from t=0 to t=10 gives the net displacement, representing how far the cyclist has traveled in those 10 minutes.

Limits of Integration and Time Interval

The problem specifies the time interval 0 ≤ t ≤ 10 minutes. Setting the correct limits of integration ensures the calculation covers the entire duration of interest, capturing the cyclist's motion from start to 10 minutes exactly.

Variable gravity At Earth’s surface, the acceleration due to gravity is approximately g=9.8 m/s² (with local variations). However, the acceleration decreases with distance from the surface according to Newton’s law of gravitation. At a distance of y meters from Earth’s surface, the acceleration is given by a(y) = - g / (1+y/R)², where R=6.4×10⁶ m is the radius of Earth.


b. Use the Chain Rule to show that dv/dt = 1/2 d/dy(v²).
