Homework Statement
Car start to drive from point A to point B in a straight line ,
The distance from A to B is S, the time the car drove is T
Prove that there is a point in the drive where the acceleration of the car does not lower in absolute value from [tex]\frac{4S}{T^{2}}[/tex]
the car start the drive from speed 0 and end the drive in speed 0
I know this is physics related question but I have in in calculus 2
Homework Equations
I almost sure you have to solve the question with taylor polynomial
The Attempt at a Solution
When I try built taylor polynomial when f(x) is the speed around x0 = when the speed reach S/T that is the average speed , the speed must reach the average speed
f(X) = f(x0) + f'(c)(x-x0)
f(x) = S/T +f'(c)(x-x0)
Now I do this for x=0 and for x=T and I can get that if the x0 in [0,T/4] or in [3T/4,T] f'(c) that is the acceleration is above [tex]\frac{4S}{T^{2}}[/tex]
When I try to build the polynomial when f(x) is the location and again around x0 = the time the car speed reach S/T, It does not seem to add up, Because I don't really know what value to give to f(x0)...
Thank you for the help.
