Question
The automobile is originally at rest, i.e., s (t = 0 s) = 0 m. If it then starts to
increase its speed at a (t) = (0.05t2 ) ft/s 2 , where t is in seconds, then determine the magnitudes of
its velocity and acceleration at s = 550 ft. Note that a (t) becomes a t (t) along the circular path.
