A particle moves according to a law of motion \(s=f(t)\), \(t \geqslant 0\), where \(t\) is measured in seconds and \(s\) in feet. (a) Find the velocity at time \(t\). (b) What is the velocity after 1 second? (c) When is the particle at rest? (d) When is the particle moving in the positive direction? (e) Find the total distance traveled during the first 6 seconds. (f) Draw a diagram like Figure 2 to illustrate the motion of the particle. (g) Find the acceleration at time \(t\) and after 1 second. (h) Graph the position, velocity, and acceleration functions for \(0 \leqslant t \leqslant 6\). (i) When is the particle speeding up? When is it slowing down? \(f(t)=t^{3}-9 t^{2}+24 t\) Equation Transcription: ? ?? Text Transcription: s=f(t) t geqslant 0 t s t t 0 leqslant t leqslant 6 f(t)=t^3-9t^2+24t

Question
A stone is dropped into a lake, creating a circular ripple that travels outward at a speed of \(60 \mathrm{~cm} / \mathrm{s}\). Find the rate at which the area within the circle is increasing after (a) \(1 \mathrm{~s}\), (b) \(3 \mathrm{~s}\), and (c) \(5 \mathrm{~s}\). What can you conclude?
Solution
The first step in solving 3.7 problem number trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: A stone is dropped into a lake, creating a circular ripple that travels outward at a speed of \(60 \mathrm{~cm} / \mathrm{s}\). Find the rate at which the area within the circle is increasing after (a) \(1 \mathrm{~s}\), (b) \(3 \mathrm{~s}\), and (c) \(5 \mathrm{~s}\). What can you conclude?
From the textbook chapter Rates of Change in the Natural and Social Sciences you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
