- A particle experiences a constant acceleration, α. At t = T, the particle’s position and speed are observed to be x(t = T) = β and v(t = T) = γ (with the appropriate units), respectively. Find the following quantities in terms of the given quantities (i.e., α, β, γ, and T), i) the initial speed,ii) the initial position,iii) the speed as a function of time, and iv) the position as a function of time.arrow_forwardAt one instant, a bicyclist is 50 m due east of a park's flagpole, going due south with a speed of 18 m/s.
