Concept explainers
A particle moves along a straight line such that its acceleration is a = ( 4t2 – 2) m/s2 , where t is in seconds. When t = 0, the particle is located 2 m to the left of the origin, and when t = 2 s, it is 20 m to the left of the origin. Determine the position of the particle when t = 4 s.
