The acceleration of a particle is a constant. At t = 0 the velocity of the particle is (15.8î + 18.4ĵ) m/s.At = 3.6 s the velocity is 10.5ĵ m/s. (Use the following as necessary: t. Do not include units in your answers.)
(b)
How do the position (in m) and velocity (in m/s) vary with time? Assume the particle is initially at the origin.
An object has an initial velocity of 10 m/s and an acceleration of 3 m/s squared. How long will it take for its final velocity to equal four times its initial velocity?
The velocity of a particle is given by the equation v = 5.0t - 0.60 t2(in m/s). What is the instantaneous accelaration of the particle at = 2.0 s?

We can do this by approximating the area under a curve. But what curve? In this case, imagine that the velocity of the vehicle is a function of time, v(t). We do not have this function, but we do have the values of th function at certain points in time. If we assume the function (the velocity) is constant between these points in time (which is not actually true), we can get an approximation. distance traveled - feet Give another estimate using the velocities at the end of the time periods. distance traveled feet Question Help: Video 20210110 2205M2 ing 20210110 220552 jpgarrow_forwardThe velocity of a particle is given by the function v(t)=t^2-7t+1027 , where the velocity is measured in meters per second.
