Rates of Change


Speed of a rocket At t sec after liftoff, the height of a rocket is 3t² ft. How fast is the rocket climbing 10 sec after liftoff?

To find how fast the rocket is climbing, we need to determine the rate of change of the height with respect to time, which is the derivative of the height function.
The height of the rocket as a function of time is given by h(t) = 3t². We need to find the derivative of this function, h'(t), to get the velocity function.
Differentiate h(t) = 3t² with respect to t. Using the power rule, the derivative of t² is 2t, so h'(t) = 3 * 2t = 6t.
Now that we have the velocity function h'(t) = 6t, we can find the velocity at a specific time by substituting t = 10 seconds into this derivative.
Substitute t = 10 into h'(t) = 6t to find the velocity of the rocket at 10 seconds. This will give you the rate at which the rocket is climbing at that moment.

Derivative

The derivative of a function measures the rate at which the function's value changes as its input changes. In the context of the rocket's height, the derivative of the height function with respect to time will give us the rocket's speed at any given moment.

Function of Time

In this problem, the height of the rocket is expressed as a function of time, specifically h(t) = 3t². Understanding how to interpret and manipulate this function is crucial for determining the rocket's height and speed at specific time intervals.

Application of the Chain Rule

The chain rule is a fundamental principle in calculus used to differentiate composite functions. In this scenario, while the height function is straightforward, recognizing how to apply differentiation rules effectively is essential for calculating the speed of the rocket at the specified time.
