The velocity v→ of a particle moving in the xy plane is given by v→=(5.50t-5.00t2)î+9.00ĵ, with v→ in meters per second and t (> 0) in seconds. At t = 1.40 s and in unit-vector notation, At what positive time does the speed equal 10.0 m/s?
At t = 0 the coordinates of a particle are x = 0, y = 1.98 m. At a time 0.95 s later, its coordinates are x = 3.21 m, y = 4.20 m. Find the components of the particle's average velocity during this time interval.

A particle performs a one-dimensional motion with the position given by the time equation x(t) = 1,3t4 - 2,0t3, where x is given in meters and t is given in seconds. At time t=0, the particle starts its motion at the origin x=0. At what instant (in seconds) does the particle reverse its direction of motion?
