- An object is moving in the air (defying gravity) so that its height after t seconds is given by ℎ(t)=18sin(t)cos(t)+8t meters. (If you graph this function, you can see it's moving up and down, but going higher and higher as time goes on.) a) At what time, t, does the object first change direction from going up to going down? b) What is the acceleration (m/s^2) of the object at that same time?arrow_forwardI did not understand this subject very well. (Average velocity, instantaneous velocity, average acceleration, instantaneous acceleration) And I am trying to understand with this question. Especially I can't get the "instantaneous" formulas in my head and I can't figure out why we did it. I would be happy if you could solve it in an explanatory way.

- One of my questions got solved and helped me so much thank you! Here’s another one please. Two trains are 9.82km apart. They travel in opposite directions, to each other. Train A has a speed of 5.87 km/h at departure and an acceleration of 0.29m/s squared. Train B has a speed of 20.3m/s at the start and an acceleration of 0.69m/s squared. B. Determine when the trains meet.arrow_forward. When we estimate distances from velocity data, it is some- times necessary to use times fo, f1, fz, fz, ... that are not equally spaced. We can still estimate distances using the time periods At; = ti – ti-1. For example, on May 7, 1992, the space shuttle Endeavour was launched on mission STS-49, the purpose of which was to install a new perigee kick motor in an Intelsat communications satellite. The table, provided by NASA, gives the velocity data for the shuttle between liftoff and the jettisoning of the solid rocket boosters. Use these data to estimate the height above the earth's surface of the space shuttle Endeavour, 62 seconds after liftoff.
