Question

5) A particle, whose acceleration is constant, is moving in the negative x direction at a speed of 5.6 m/s, and 11.5s later the particle is moving in the positive x direction at a speed of 8.29 m/s.

a) What is the particle’s acceleration in m/s²? 

b) What is the particle’s velocity, in m/s, 11.5 s before it was moving in the negative x direction at a speed of 5.6 m/s? 

c) When is the particle at rest? Express this answer as a time in seconds elapsed since it was moving in the negative x direction at a speed of 5.6 m/s?
