Study Notes
Time Rate Problems
- Solve related rates problems involving the rates of change of different variables with respect to time.
Rates of Change
- The derivative of a function can be used to find different rates of change of the function with respect to variables such as time.
Kinematics Definitions
- Displacement: The distance moved by a particle or body in a specific direction.
- Velocity: The rate of change in the displacement of a particle or body in a given direction.
- Acceleration: The rate of change in the speed of a particle or body over time.
Kinematics and Derivatives
-
Given a position function s(t), the gradient of the graph of s(t) at a specific time, t, represents the instantaneous rate of change of displacement (velocity). This is denoted as ds/dt.
-
The rate of change of velocity with respect to time is acceleration, denoted as dv/dt , which is equivalent to d²s/dt².
Sign Interpretation
-
If an object moves in a straight horizontal line starting at the origin:
- s(t) = 0: The object is at the origin.
- s(t) > 0: The object is to the right of the origin.
- s(t) < 0: The object is to the left of the origin.
- v(t) = 0: The object is not moving (instantaneously at rest).
- v(t) > 0: The object is moving to the right.
- v(t) < 0: The object is moving to the left.
-
a(t) = 0: The object's velocity is constant.
-
a(t) > 0: The velocity is increasing.
-
a(t) < 0: The velocity is decreasing.
Solving Time Rate Problems
- Steps:
- Read and analyze the problem. Draw a diagram.
- Identify variables, constants, and relevant information. Label the diagram.
- Formulate an equation (often using trigonometry and geometry).
- Differentiate the equation with respect to time, t (find the derivatives) and substitute known variables.
- Solve for the unknown.
- Verify the solution (check if it is reasonable).
