A particle’s velocity along the x-axis is described byv(t) = A t + B t2,where t is in seconds, v is in meters per second, A = 1.06 m/s2, and B = -0.51 m/s3. What is the distance traveled, in meters, by the particle between times t0 = 1.0 s and t1 = 3.0 s?
A particle travels along with a straight-line path y = 0.5x. If the x component of the particle’s velocity is Vx = (2t2) m/s, where t is in seconds, determine the magnitude of the particle’s velocity and acceleration when t = 4 s.
A particle moves along the x axis. Its position is given by the equation
x = 2.5 + 2.6t − 3.5t2
with x in meters and t in seconds.
