AP Calculus AB › Interpretation of the derivative as a rate of change
Concrete at a factory flows according to the following theoretical model:
What is the rate of change of the concrete flow?
If p(t) gives the position of an asteroid as a function of time, find the function which models the velocity of the asteroid as a function of time.
A body's position "s" is given by the equation:
,
a) Find the body's speed at the endpoints of the given interval
b) Find the body's acceleration at the endpoints of the given interval
At any time t, the position of a body is given by the equation:
Find the body's acceleration at each time the velocity is zero.
Determine the velocity of a particle at x=10 when the position function is given by
Given j(k), find the rate of change when k=5.
Find the time at which the rate of change of the function is equal to 3:
Find the speed of the car at t=5 if its position is given by
A group of scientists use the following code for describing velocity and acceleration of particles:
, when both the velocity and acceleration are positive;
, when the velocity is positive, but the acceleration is negative;
, when the velocity is negative, but the acceleration is positive;
, when both the velocity and acceleration are negative.
What code - at t=2 - will the scientists use when describing a particle moving with a position function given by the following equation:
A fluid cools with time according to the equation
What is the cooling rate at a temperature of 29?
