Velocity at #t=1# is #-3#, speed is #3#, accelaration is #42# and jerk is #-230#

Explanation:

If euation of motion is given by #f(t)#, then

velocity is given by #f'(t)#, speed is #|f'(t)|#, accelaration is given by #f''(t)# and jerk is #f'''(x)#.

As #f(t)=4t^(-3)+27t^(1/3)+12#

velocity is given by #f'(t)=4xx(-3)t^(-4)+27xx1/3t^(-2/3)#

= #-12t^(-4)+9t^(-2/3)#

velocity at #t=1# is #f'(1)=-12+9=-3#

and speed at #t=1# is #|f'(1)|=|-3|=3#

As velocity is #f'(t)=-12t^(-4)+9t^(-2/3)#,

accelaration is given by its derivative i.e.

#f''(t)=-12xx(-4)t^(-5)+9xx(-2/3)t^(-5/3)#

= #48t^(-5)-6t^(-5/3)#

and accelaration at #t=1# is #48-6=42#

Jerk is #f'''(t)=48xx(-5)t^(-6)-6xx(-5/3)t^(-8/3)#

= #-240t^(-6)+10t^(-8/3)#

and jerk at #t=1# is #f'''(1)=-240+10=-230#

velocity at time t=1 sec is -3 #fps#
speed at t=1 sec is 3 #fps#
acceleration at time t = 1 sec is 42 #fp s^2#
jerk at time t=1 sec is -230 #fps^2#

Explanation:

Given,
#f(t)=4t^-3+27t^(1/3)+12#
To find
i) velocity
ii) speed
iii) acceleration
iv) jerk

velocity
#v=d/dtf(t)#
#f(t)=4t^-3+27t^(1/3)+12#
Differentiating f(t) wrt time t
#v=d/dt(4t^-3+27t^(1/3)+12)#
#d/dt(t^n)=nt^(n-1)#
For
#n=-3, n-1=-3-1=-4#
By constant rule
#d/dt(4t^-3)=4d/dt(t^-3)=(4)(-3)t^(-4)=-12t^-4#
For
#n=1/3, n-1=1/3-1=-2/3#
#d/dt(27t^(1/3))=27d/dt(t^(1/3))=(27)(1/3)t^(-2/3)#
#d/dt(constant)=0#
#d/dt(12)=0#
By sum rule,
#d/dt(4t^-3+27t^(1/3)+12)=d/dt(4t^-3)+d/dt(27t^(1/3))+d/dt(12)#
Substituting the values
#v=-12t^-4+(27)(1/3)t^(-2/3)+0#
Simplifying,
#v=-12t^-4+9t^(-2/3)#
At t=1,
#v=-12(1)^-4+9(1)^(-2/3)#
#v=-12+9#
#v=-3#
Thus, the velocity at time #t=1 sec, is -3 fps#

speed
speed = abs(velocity)
velocity at t=1 sec is -3 fps
abs(velocity)=abs(-3fps)
Thus, speed at t=1 sec is 3 fps

acceleration
a=#d/dtv#
#v=-12t^-4+9t^(-2/3)#
Differentiating v with respect to time t,
#d/dtv=d/dt(-12t^-4+9t^(-2/3))#
#d/dt(t^n)=nt^(n-1)#
For
#n=-4, n-1=-4-1=-5#
By constant rule
#d/dt(-12t^-4)=-12d/dt(t^-4)=(-12)(-4)t^(-5)=48t^-5#
For
#n=-2/3, n-1=-2/3-1=-5/3#
#d/dt(9t^(-2/3))=9d/dt(t^(-2/3))=(9)(-2/3)t^(-5/3)=-6t^(-5/3)#
By sum rule,
#d/dt(-12t^-4+9t^(-2/3))#=#d/dt(-12t^-4)+d/dt(9t^(-2/3))#
#=48t^-5-6t^(-5/3)#
Simplifying,
#a=48t^-5-6t^(-5/3)#
At time t = 1,
#a=48(1)^-5-6(1)t^(-5/3)#
#=48-6#
Thus, the acceleration at time# t = 1 sec#, is 42fp #s^2#

jerk

b=#d/dta#
Differentiating a wrt t
#d/dta=d/dt(48t^-5-6t^(-5/3))#
#d/dt(t^n)=nt^(n-1)#
For
#n=-5, n-1=-5-1=-6#
By constant rule
#d/dt(48t^-5)=48d/dt(t^-5)=(48)(-5)t^(-6)=-240t^-6#
For
#n=-5/3, n-1=-5/3-1=-8/3#
#d/dt(-6t^(-2/3))=-6d/dt(t^(-5/3))=(-6)(-5/3)t^(-8/3)=10t^(-8/3)#
By sum rule,
#d/dt(48t^-5-6t^(-5/3))=-240t^-6+10t^(-5/3)#
Simplifying,
#a=-240t^-6+10t^(-5/3)#
At time t=1, jerk is
#a=-240(1)^-6+10(1)^(-5/3)#
#a=-240+10#
#a=-230 # #fps^2#
