query 6.5 #8 Galileo: time for unif accel object to traverse dist is same as if vel was ave of init and final; put into symbols and show why true

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE -->

a)

`d = delta

`dt = time

`ds = space traversed

v0 = velocity at rest

vf = higest velocity

(vf + v0)/2 = mean velocity

He is saying that `ds / `dt = (vf + v0)/2

b)

dv/dt = -g = constant

ds/dt = v = -gt + v0

s = -1/2 g t^2 + v0 t +s0

We can find the time that it takes to hit the ground where s = 0ft and s0 = 100ft.

0 = 1/2 (-32 ft/s^2) t^2 + (0 ft/s) t + 100ft

-100ft = -16ft/s^2 t^2

t = sqrt(-100ft/-16ft/s^2)

t = +- 2.5s (Using positive time, t = 2.5s)

The final velocity is -32 ft/s^2 * 2.5s + 0ft/s = -80 ft/s

The mean velocity is ( -80 ft/s + 0 ft/s) / 2 = -40 ft/s

Falling 100 ft in 2.5s: -100 ft / 2.5s = -40 ft/s

c)

Originally found using antiderivatives:

dv/dt = -g = constant

ds/dt = v = -gt + v0

s = -1/2 g t^2 + v0 t + s0

Note `d = delta

Remember that t is really a small `dt:

Rearranging these:

vf = -g`dt + v0

`dv = -g`dt

and

s = -1/2 g `dt^2 + v0 `dt + s0

`ds = -1/2 g `dt^2 + v0 `dt

Galileo said

`ds / `dt = (vf + v0)/2

We can verify that this is true when acceleration is uniform (or constant) by substituting in for vf:

`ds / `dt = [(-g`dt + v0) + v0]/2

`ds / `dt = (-g`dt + 2v0)/2

`ds / `dt = -1/2 g`dt + v0

`ds = -1/2 g `dt^2 + v0`dt

s = -1/2 g`dt^2 + v0`dt + s0

This verifies that his assertion is correct.

20:32:09

How can we use a graph to show that the statement is true?

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE -->

On a graph of velocity vs time, slope of the graph between two velocities will be linear when acceleration is contsant. The area of that trapezoid will be the same as a rectangle with the mean height of the velocities and the same time.

query problem 7.1.22 (3d edition #18) integral of `sqrt(cos(3t) ) * sin(3t)

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE -->

integral sqrt(cos (3t)) * sin (3t) dt

integral (cos (3t))^(1/2) * sin (3t) dt

Substitution:

u = cos (3t)

du/dt = -sin (3t) * 3

du = -3sin (3t) dt

-1/3 du = sin (3t) dt

integral u^(1/2) * -1/3 du

-1/3 * 2/3 u^(3/2) + C

-2/9 cos(3t))^(3/2) + C

.................................................

......!!!!!!!!...................................

20:41:06

what did you get for the integral and how did you reason out your result?

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE -->

cos 3t was clearly inside another function to the 1/2 power and additionally, the derivative of cos is -sin which allows the substitution to take place.

query problem 7.1.20 (3d edition #21) antiderivative of x^2 e^(x^3+1)

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE -->

integral of x^2 e^(x^3+1)

Subtituting u = x^3 + 1:

du/dx = 3x^2

du = 3x^2 dx

1/3 du = x^2 dx

integral of e^u 1/3 du

1/3 e^u + C

1/3 e^(x^3 + 1) + C

query problem 7.1.37 (3d edition #35) antiderivative of (t+1)^2 / t^2

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE -->

integral of (t+1)^2 /t^2

The first thing I did was to try u = t+1 but that gave du=dt, which is not helpful.

Next I expanded (t+1)^2 to see what that would do.

integral of (t^2 + 2t + 1)/t^2

integral of t^2/t^2 + 2t/t^2 + 1/t^2

These can be separated and dealt with.

integral of t^2/t^2 dt is the integral of 1 dt = t + C

integral of 1/t^2 = -1/t + C

The middle term can use a substitution for t^2 to solve it and takes care of the 2t on top:

u = t^2

du/dt = 2t

du = 2t dt

integral of 1/u du is ln |u| + C so substituting back in we find ln |t^2| + C

Adding them all together we have:

t + ln |t^2| - 1/t + C

.................................................

......!!!!!!!!...................................

21:03:32

what is the antiderivative?

t + ln |t^2| - 1/t + C

21:03:58

What substitution would you use to find this antiderivative?

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE -->

The substitution that was needed in the middle term for u = t^2

query 7.1.64 (3d edition #60). int(1/(t+7)^2, t, 1, 3)

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE -->

I didn't see this one in my text, but here goes:

integral (1/(t + 7)^2, t, 1,3)

u = t+7

du/dt = 1

du = dt

integral u^-2 du

-u^-1 from 1 to 3 is:

-1/3 - -1/1 = 2/3

query 7.1.86. World population P(t) = 5.3 e^(0.014 t).

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE -->

I don't believe this one was assigned and I do not see it in my text. I am not sure what I need to do. I am proceeding to the next question.

.................................................

......!!!!!!!!...................................

21:18:41

What were the populations in 1990 and 2000?

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE -->

P(t) = 5.3 e^(0.014 t)

I am assuming t is in years, but using 1990 as t would put the population at 6.66 * 10^12 people which is 6.6 trillion people, which I don't think is quite correct.

P(1990) = 5.3 e^(0.014 * 1990) = 6.66 * 10^12

P(2000) = 5.3 e^(0.014 * 2000) = 7.67 * 10^12

.................................................

......!!!!!!!!...................................

21:30:33

What is the average population between during the 1990's and how did you find it?

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE -->

Using the average value of the function to be

1/(2000-1990) * integral of 5.3 e^(0.014 t) from 1990 to 2000

u = 0.014t

du/dt = 0.014

du/0.014 = dt

1/10 * 5.3/0.014 * integral of e^u from 1990 to 2000

1/10 * 5.3/0.014 * [e^(0.014 * 2000) - e^(0.014 *1990)] = 7.15 * 10^12

I am probably using the wrong times for my the data to be accurate, but I believe the rest of the work is correct.

21:33:11
