Note: The VolumeOfRevolution command is available through a friendly graphical user interface (GUI) via the WWW. Links are provided on the course website. (You can use the Maplet link if you have Maple 8 on the computer you are using; otherwise, assuming you have an Internet connection, use the MapleNet link.)

(a) Find a(2).

At this time the velocity is negative and increasing. The speed is the absolute value of the velocity. At t=2, the speed is positive, and decreasing.
| > | plot( [V,abs(V)], t=0..3, style=[point,line], color=[red,blue], legend=["velocity","speed"] ); |

(b) Find times when particle changes direction
Direction change occurs when velocity changes sign. From graph, this occurs exactly once in [0,3], near t=2.5.
| > | solve( V=0, t ); |
| > | fsolve( V=0, t ); |
| > | fsolve( V=0, t=2..3 ); |
| > |
(c) Find total distance travelled.
| > | TotDist := Int( abs(V), t=0..3 ); |
| > | TotDist = value( TotDist ); |
| > | TotDist = evalf( TotDist ); |
| > |
(d) Find greatest distance from particle to origin during 0 <= t <= 3.
The position of the particle can be given as:
| > | P := 1 + Int( V, t=0..T ); |
| > | plot( P, T=0..3 ); |
| > |
The greatest distance from the origin occurs at the critical point near t=2.5. Note that this critical point for the position occurs at the same time that the particle changes direction
| > | Tcrit := fsolve( V=0, t=2..3 ); |
| > | MaxSep := eval( P, T=Tcrit ); |
| > | evalf( MaxSep ); |
Thus, the maximum separation from the origin is 2.265 (units).

g differentiable at x=3 means that i) g is continuous at x=3 and ii) g' is continuous at x=3.
