A body moves along a linear path and its rate of change of velocity varies with time and is written as a=2-3t, where t is the time in second. After 5 second, from start of observation its velocity is determined to be 20 m/s. After 10 second from start of observation, the body is at 85 m far from the origin. Determine the following:a. Rate of change of velocity and velocity at the start of motion.b. Distance from the origin at the start of observationc. Time after start of observation in which the velocity becomes zero.

3) Two particles, A & B, move along parallel rectilinear paths. At t=0 the particles are directly opposite one another. Particle A moves according to SA = 12t² - 4t³ inches and particle B moves with a constant speed of 12 inches/ second. (a) Determine the relative position of A with respect to B at t = 1 second. (b) Determine the relative velocity of A with respect to B at t = 1 second. ANS. SA/B = -4 inches VA/B = 0 inches/sec

Ex.5.2 The position of a particle which moves along a straight line is defined by the relation x = t3 - 6t2 -15t + 40, where x is expressed in m and t in sec. Determine (a) the time at which the velocity will be zero, (b) the position and distance traveled by the particle at that time, (c) the acceleration of the particle at that time, d) the distance traveled by the particle from t= 4 s to t = 6 s. %3D
