Math Problem Statement

v(t) = 190(1 − e^−0.24t) Find the velocity after 4 s and after 14 s

Solution

Given the velocity function v(t)=190(1e0.24t)v(t) = 190(1 - e^{-0.24t}), we are tasked with finding the velocity after 4 seconds and after 14 seconds.

Step-by-Step Calculation:

  1. For t=4t = 4 seconds:

v(4)=190(1e0.24×4)v(4) = 190(1 - e^{-0.24 \times 4}) v(4)=190(1e0.96)v(4) = 190(1 - e^{-0.96}) Now, let's calculate this value.

  1. For t=14t = 14 seconds:

v(14)=190(1e0.24×14)v(14) = 190(1 - e^{-0.24 \times 14}) v(14)=190(1e3.36)v(14) = 190(1 - e^{-3.36})

Now, I'll compute the actual values for v(4)v(4) and v(14)v(14).The velocity after 4 seconds is approximately 117.25m/s117.25 \, \text{m/s}, and the velocity after 14 seconds is approximately 183.40m/s183.40 \, \text{m/s}.

Would you like further details or explanations on these results?

Here are 5 related questions to expand your understanding:

  1. How does the rate constant 0.240.24 affect the velocity over time?
  2. What is the velocity as tt approaches infinity?
  3. How would you compute the acceleration from this velocity function?
  4. What happens to the velocity function if you change the initial constant 190190?
  5. How can you graph this velocity function over time?

Tip: When dealing with exponential functions, the term ekte^{-kt} approaches zero as tt increases, leading the velocity to approach a constant value.
