Question

Each of the next four particles moves along the x-axis.
The coordinates (in meters) of the particles are a function of time (in seconds) and are given by:

1)   xt = 3.5 - 2.7 t3

2)   xt = 3.5 + 2.7 t3

3)   xt  = 3.5 + 2.7 t2

4)   xt = 3.5 - 3.4 t - 2.7 t2

5)  xt   = 2/t2 - 4/t

Which of the particles has constant acceleration.
