Flying into a headwind The velocity (in mi/hr) of an airplane flying into a headwind is given by v(t) = 30(16−t²), for 0≤t≤3. Assume s(0)=0 and t is measured in hours.


c. How far has the airplane traveled at the instant its velocity reaches 400 mi/hr?

First, understand that the velocity function is given by \(v(t) = 30(16 - t^{2})\), where \(t\) is time in hours and \(v(t)\) is velocity in miles per hour. We want to find the distance traveled when the velocity reaches 400 mi/hr.
Set the velocity equal to 400 and solve for \(t\): \(30(16 - t^{2}) = 400\). This will give the time(s) at which the velocity is 400 mi/hr.
Solve the equation for \(t\): divide both sides by 30 to isolate the quadratic term, then rearrange to form a quadratic equation and solve for \(t\).
Once you find the appropriate value of \(t\) within the interval \(0 \leq t \leq 3\), use the position function \(s(t)\) to find the distance traveled. Since velocity is the derivative of position, \(s(t) = \int v(t) \, dt + s(0)\).
Integrate \(v(t) = 30(16 - t^{2})\) with respect to \(t\) to find \(s(t)\), then substitute the value of \(t\) found earlier into \(s(t)\) to find the distance traveled at that instant.

Concetti chiave

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

Velocity and Position Relationship

Velocity is the rate of change of position with respect to time. To find the distance traveled, you integrate the velocity function over the given time interval. Here, s(t) represents the position, and its derivative s'(t) equals the velocity v(t).

Derivatives Applied To Velocity

Solving for Time from Velocity

To find when the velocity reaches a specific value, set the velocity function equal to that value and solve for time t. This step is crucial to determine the exact instant at which the airplane's velocity is 400 mi/hr.

Using The Velocity Function

Definite Integration for Displacement

Once the time t is found, calculate the distance traveled by integrating the velocity function from the initial time to t. This definite integral gives the total displacement, which is the airplane's traveled distance at that instant.
