If a particle has an initial velocity v0 = 12 ft/s to the right, and a constant acceleration of 2 ft/s^2 to the left, determine the particle’s displacement in 10 s. Originally s0 = 0.
Given the following acceleration function of an object moving along a line, find the position function with the given initial velocity and position.
a(t) = 2 + 3 sin t; ν(0) = 1, s(0) = 10
A particle moves from an initial position with coordinates x = -2.0 m, y = +3.0 m, to a final position with coordinates x = +5.0 m, y = +7.0 m in a time interval of 10 s. What is the magnitude of the average velocity for this displacement?
