Question

x = 1.99 + 3.02t 1.00t2,

where x is in meters and t is in seconds.

(a) Find the position of the particle at t = 2.80 s
_______m


(b) Find its velocity at t = 2.80 s.
______ m/s

(c) Find its acceleration at t = 2.80 s.
______ m/s2

2)The driver of a car slams on the brakes when he sees a tree blocking the road. The car slows uniformly with acceleration of -5.20 m/s2 for 4.15 s, making straight skid marks 63.1 m long, all the way to the tree. With what speed does the car then strike the tree?
_______ m/s

Explanation / Answer

1)

x = 1.90 + 3.02 t - 1 t^2

a) for t = 2.80 s

x = 1.90 + 3.02 * 2.80 - 2.80^2

x = 2.516 m

the postion of particle is 2.516 m

b) as velocity is

v = dx/dt

v = 3.02 - 2 * t

for t = 2.80 s

v = 3.02 - 2 * 2.80

v = -1.78 m/s

the speed of particle at 2.80 s is -1.78 m/s

c)

as acceleration , a = dv/dt

a = -2

at t = 2.80 s

a = -2 m/s^2

the acceleration of the particle is -2 m/s^2
