It follows that when $$t=52000$$, the velocity of the rocket is $$320$$ meters per second.

D3m: Non-smooth motion. Model and analyze motion involving instantaneous acceleration. (ver. 49)

A rocket weighing $$1200$$ kg is traveling at a constant $$100$$ meters per second. Then when $$t=2400$$, its thrusters are turned on, providing $$30$$ Newtons of force until they are switched off $$3600$$ seconds later.

Give an IVP that models this scenario, then solve it. Use your solution to find the velocity of the rocket when $$t=9600$$.

An IVP modeling this scenario is given by:

$1200 \, {v'} = 30 \, u\left({t} - 2400\right) - 30 \, u\left({t} - 6000\right)\hspace{2em}v(0)= 100$

This IVP solves to:

${v} = \frac{1}{40} \, {\left({t} - 2400\right)} u\left({t} - 2400\right) - \frac{1}{40} \, {\left({t} - 6000\right)} u\left({t} - 6000\right) + 100$

It follows that when $$t=9600$$, the velocity of the rocket is $$190$$ meters per second.

D3m: Non-smooth motion. Model and analyze motion involving instantaneous acceleration. (ver. 50)

A rocket weighing $$300$$ kg is traveling at a constant $$120$$ meters per second. Then when $$t=2400$$, its thrusters are turned on, providing $$100$$ Newtons of force until they are switched off $$900$$ seconds later.

Give an IVP that models this scenario, then solve it. Use your solution to find the velocity of the rocket when $$t=3000$$.

$300 \, {v'} = 100 \, u\left({t} - 2400\right) - 100 \, u\left({t} - 3300\right)\hspace{2em}v(0)= 120$
${v} = \frac{1}{3} \, {\left({t} - 2400\right)} u\left({t} - 2400\right) - \frac{1}{3} \, {\left({t} - 3300\right)} u\left({t} - 3300\right) + 120$
It follows that when $$t=3000$$, the velocity of the rocket is $$320$$ meters per second.
