1. (a) To find the distance travelled, integration needs to be done from t=0 to t=28 s.
Simpsons 3/8 rule:
Simpsons 1/3 rule:
Simpsons 3/8 rule can be applied from t=0 to t=12 s and then Simpsons 1/3 rule can be applied twice: from t=12 to t=20 and from t=20 to t=28
h = 4 s
From t=0 to t=12 s
D1 = 558.45 m
From t=12 to t=20 s
D2 = 788.8 m
From t=20 to t=28
D3 = 972.4 m
Total distance travelled = D1 + D2 + D3 = 2319.65 m
(b) The acceleration can be found by numerically differentiating v with respect to t at t=28 s.
The formula used is :
In this case it is:
Therefore acceleration =
=1.725 m/s2
2. needs to be found at each point.
The formula to be used for end points: (For the final end point, h must be replaced with -h)
For other points the formula to be used is :
The table below is computed by doing the above calculations(substitution is not shown, assuming it is very straightforward)
t | c | dc/dt | log(-dc/dt) | log (c) |
10 | 3.52 | -0.1195 | -0.9226 | 0.5465 |
20 | 2.48 | -0.0885 | -1.0531 | 0.3945 |
30 | 1.75 | -0.0625 | -1.2041 | 0.243 |
40 | 1.23 | -0.044 | -1.3565 | 0.0899 |
50 | 0.87 | -0.031 | -1.5086 | -0.0605 |
60 | 0.61 | -0.021 | -1.6778 | 0.2147 |
Using this information the graph of the equation given in the question can be plotted. It can be done by hand or in excel. A linear graph is obtained for which both the slope and intercept can be found. The graph is shown below.
Upon comparing this to the equation, we see that the value of n (slope) = -0.1513
log k = -0.7576
Therefore, k = 0.1747
Simpsons 1/3 rule, and Simpsons 3/8 rule, use the ollowing data to compute the work in k Pressure...
