If the position of a car is given by s=(80/3)[t + (3/pi)sin(pi*t/6)]. Find its velocity.

The velocity is the derivative of distance, with respect
to time:


v = ds/dt


We'll
calculate the derivative:


v = d/dt[(80/3)t + (80/pi)sin
(pi*t/6)]


We'll remove the
brackets:


v = (80/3)(d/dt t) + (80/pi)(d/dt[sin
(pi*t/6)]


v = (80/3) + (80/pi)(pi/6)[cos
(pi*t/6)]


v = (80/3) + (40/3)[cos
(pi*t/6)]


We'll factorize by 40/3 and we'll
get:


v = (40/3)[2 + cos
(pi*t/6)]

Comment on the setting and character of "The Fall of the House of Usher."How does setting act as a character?

Excellent observation, as it identifies how the settings of Poe's stories reflect the characters of their protagonists. Whet...
