Knowing that x = 0 and 60 m/sv = when 0,t = determine (a) the velocity and position of the plane at 20 s,t = (b) its average velocity during the interval 6 s 14 s.t< < SOLUTION Geometry of “bell-shaped” portion of v t− curve The parabolic spandrels marked by * are of equal area. Thus, total area of shaded portion of v t− diagram is: (a) When 20 s:t = 20 60 m/sv = 20 (60 m/s) (20 s) (shaded area)x = − 1200 m 6 m= − 20 1194 mx = (b) From 6 s to 14 s: 8 st t t= = Δ = (60 m/s)(14 s 6 s) (shaded area) (60 m/s)(8 s) 6 m 480 m 6 m 474 m xΔ = − − = − = − = average 474 m 8 s x v t Δ= = Δ average 59.25 m/sv =
