If v(t) is a function which models the velocity of a wave as a function of time, find the function which models the wave's acceleration.

We are given velocity and asked to find acceleration. To do so, we need to find the derivative of our velocity function.

Recall that the derivative of cosine is negative sine, and that the derivative of any variable can be found by multiplying the term by the exponent and reducing the exponent by one.

So we have:

If v(t) is a function which models the velocity of a wave as a function of time, find the the wave's acceleration when t=0.

We are given velocity and asked to find acceleration. To do so, we need to find the derivative of our velocity function.

Recall that the derivative of cosine is negative sine, and that the derivative of any variable can be found by multiplying the term by the exponent and reducing the exponent by one.

So we have:

We are not quite done yet however. We need to find a(0)

So our answer is -5

The instantaneous acceleration is represented by the second derivative of the positional equation. Let's first calculate the velocity then the acceleration. Begin by rewriting s(t) to make the differentiation easier:

s(t) = –44t² + 70√t = –44t² + 70(t)^1/2

v(t) = s'(t) = –88t + 70 * (1/2) * t^–1/2 = –88t + 35t^–1/2

a(t) = v'(t) = s''(t) = –88 - 70t^–3/2 = –88 -70/(t√t)

a(5) = –88 -70/(25√25) = -88 - 70/(5 * 5) = –88 - 70/25 = –88.82

To find acceleration we simply take the first derivative of velocity with respect to time:
