To find:
The velocity where the graph of directed distance reaches a maximum.
Answer to Problem 1CR
Solution:
The velocity where the graph of directed distance reaches a maximum will be zero.
Explanation of Solution
Approach:
The velocity is given by the rate of change in directed distance.
Calculation:
At the point where the graph of directed distance will reach a maximum, the slope of the graph will get zero and there will be no change in the directed distance. That is,
Therefore, the velocity where the graph of directed distance reaches a maximum will be zero.
Conclusion:
Hence, the velocity where the graph of directed distance reaches a maximum will be zero.

- Constant Velocity When the graph of directed distance is a straight line, what can be said about the graph of velocity?arrow_forwardEarthquake the graph shows the vertical acceleration of the Ground from the 1994 Northridge earthquake in Los Angles, as measured by a seismograph. (Here t represents the time in seconds.) (a) At what time t did the earthquake first make noticeable movement of the Earth? (b) At what time t did the earthquakes seem to end? (c) At what time t was the maximum intensity of the earthquake list reachedarrow_forwardFlood Control A river is 8 feet above its flood stage. The water is receding at a rate of 3 inches per hour. Write a mathematical model that shows the number of feet above flood stage after t hours. Assuming the water continually recedes at this rate, when will the river be 1 foot above its flood stage?arrow_forward
- Research and Development The amounts (in billions of dollars) the U.S. federal government spent on research and development for defense from 2010 through 2014 can be approximated by the model y=0.5079t28.168t+95.08 where t represents the year, with t=0 corresponding to 2010. (a) Use a graphing utility to graph the model. (b) Find the average rate of change of the model from 2010 to 2014. Interpret your answer in the context of the problem.arrow_forwardChange in Direction A graph of directed distance switches from increasing to decreasing. What happens to velocity?arrow_forwardThe table shows the temperatures y (in degrees Fahrenheit) in a city over a 24-hour period. Let x represent the time of day, where x=0 corresponds to 6 a.m. These data can be approximated by the model y=0.026x31.03x2+10.2x+34,0x24. (a) Use a graphing utility to create a scatter plot of the data. Then graph the model in the same viewing window. (b) How well does the model fit the data? (c) Use the graph to approximate the times when the temperature was increasing and decreasing. (d) Use the graph to approximate the maximum and minimum temperatures during this 24-hour period. (e) Could this model predict the temperatures in the city during the next 24-hour period? Why or why not?arrow_forward
