Question

A bicycle's velocity in the x direction, as a function of time is given by: vx(t) = alpha beta(t2). Alpha and beta are constants.

1.) What is the acceleration as a function of time?

2.) What is the position as a function of time? Assume the initial position at t=0 is y. 
3. If alpha = 300m/s and beta = 0.100m/sand y = 2.00m, what are the positions, velocities, and accelerations at the locations below?
