Given Solution: ** The bus only makes periodic stops, whereas the graph for III only comes to a stop once. I would matche the bus with II. ** &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Self-critique (if necessary):OK ------------------------------------------------ Self-critique Rating:OK ********************************************* Question: `q describe the graph of the car with no traffic and no lights YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY Your solution: I think this could have two answers, the one that would seem picked most often would be the constant rise straight line graph. But I could see this also being a power graph, in which the car has to pick up speed and getting faster (to a point) before it would be more linear confidence rating #$&*: 2 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
.............................................
Given Solution: ** The car matches up with (I), which is a continuous, straight horizontal line representing the constant velocity of a car with no traffic and no lights. *&*& &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Self-critique (if necessary): OK ------------------------------------------------ Self-critique Rating: OK ********************************************* Question: `q describe the graph of the car with heavy traffic YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY Your solution: I'd say it look closest to the graph that is shaped somewhat like a ""w"" because the car would be somewhat, erratic with its speeds confidence rating #$&*: 3 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
.............................................
Given Solution: ** The car in heavy traffic would do a lot of speeding up and slowing down at irregular intervals, which would match the graph in III with its frequent increases and decreases. ** &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Self-critique (if necessary): OK ------------------------------------------------ Self-critique Rating: OK ********************************************* Question: `q query 2.4.11 5th, 2.4.10 4th; 2.5.10 (was 2.4.8) q = f(p) (price and quantity sold)what is the meaning of f(150) = 2000? YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY Your solution: problem number 6. An economist is interested in how the price of a certain item affects its sales. At a price of $p, a wuantity, q of the item is sold. If q=f(p) explain the meaning of each of the following statements: (a) f(15) = 2000 if price is p in dollars and q=f(p) that means at price 150, the quantity would be 2000. confidence rating #$&*: 3 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
.............................................
Given Solution: *&*& q = 2000 when p = 150, meaning that when the price is set at $150 we expect to sell 2000 units. *&*& &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Self-critique (if necessary): OK ------------------------------------------------ Self-critique Rating: OK ********************************************* Question: `q what is the meaning of f'(150) = -25? YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY Your solution: assuming its still from the same question the rate is dropping hear, making an assumption that the sales where better at a different price. and if it is a straightforward relationship, as p increases q increases, then it would mean that more where sold at a cheaper price. confidence rating #$&*: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
.............................................
Given Solution: ** f' is the derivative, the limiting value of `df / `dp, giving the rate at which the quantity q changes with respect to price p. If f'(150) = -25, this means that when the price is $150 the quantity will be changing at a rate of -25 units per dollar of price increase. Roughly speaking, a one dollar price increase would result in a loss of 25 in the number sold. ** &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Self-critique (if necessary): OK ------------------------------------------------ Self-critique Rating: OK ********************************************* Question: `q query problem 2.4.23 5th; 2.4.18 4th; 2.4.7 graph of v vs. t for no parachute. Describe your graph, including all intercepts, asymptotes, intervals of increasing behavior, behavior for large |t| and concavity, and tell why the graph's concavity is as you indicate. YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY Your solution: problem number 26 (a) If you jump out of an airplane without a parachute,you fall faster and faster until air resistance causes you to approach a steady velocity, called the terminal belocity. Sketch a graph of your velocity against time. (b) Explain the concavity of your graph (c) Assuming air resistance to be negligible at t= 0, what natural phenomenon is represented by the slope of the graph at t=0 (c) of course at t=0, you can view that almost as a ""stasis"" nothing has happened or past, so velocity is also at 0. (b) the graph startsd of increasing, and slows down, so increasing at a decreasing rate, so concavity is downwards. ????what would the name of this type of graph be?
.............................................
Given Solution: ** When you fall without a parachute v will increase, most rapidly at first, then less and less rapidly as air resistance increases. When t = 0 we presume that v = 0. The graph of v vs. t is therefore characterized as an increasing graph beginning out at the origin, starting out nearly linear (the initial slope is equal to the acceleration of gravity) but with a decreasing slope. The graph is therefore concave downward. At a certain velocity the force of air resistance is equal and opposite to that of gravity and you stop accelerating; velocity will approach that 'terminal velocity' as a horizontal asymptote. The reason for the concavity is that velocity increases less and less quickly as air resistance increases; the approach of the velocity to terminal velocity is more and more gradual ** &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Self-critique (if necessary): OK ------------------------------------------------ Self-critique Rating: OK ********************************************* Question: `q What does the t = 0 acceleration indicate? YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY Your solution: nothing has started to move yet, velocity has yet to start as well, as being 0. or if you are considering what it means to have 0 acceleration, it means your velocity is constant, which means two different things when t = 0, and when it is farther on, t=0 you just havent started traveling, later on you will be at terminal velocity. confidence rating #$&*: 2 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
.............................................
Given Solution: ** t = 0 acceleration is acceleration under the force of gravity, before you build velocity and start encountering significant air resistance. Acceleration is rate of velocity change, indicated by the slope of the v vs. t graph. ** STUDENT QUESTION I understand how acceleration and vel. are related, just not the first part of solution INSTRUCTOR RESPONSE If it wasn't for air resistance, acceleration would be equal to that of gravity. When you first jump out you aren't falling very fast, so there isn't much air resistance to counter the acceleration of gravity, so you accelerate pretty much at the acceleration of gravity. You quickly speed up, and air resistance becomes more and more significant. So your acceleration becomes less than the acceleration of gravity. Assuming the ground is far away, this continues until air resistance is effectively equal to the force of gravity, at which point your acceleration will be zero. You will be at terminal velocity. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Self-critique (if necessary): OK ------------------------------------------------ Self-critique Rating: OK ********************************************* Question: `q Query Add comments on any surprises or insights you experienced as a result of this assignment. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Self-critique (if necessary): OK ------------------------------------------------ Self-critique Rating: OK" Self-critique (if necessary): ------------------------------------------------ Self-critique rating: Self-critique (if necessary): ------------------------------------------------ Self-critique rating: #*&!
