Starting from rest, a particle moving in a straight line has an acceleration of a = (2t−6)m/s^2
,
where t is in seconds. What is the particle’s velocity when t = 6s, and what is its position
when t = 11s? Create a plot for position, velocity, and acceleration versus time, from 0-15s.
(Use integration.)
A runner is moving with a speed of 2.68[m/s]. How long will it take the runner to complete a 5.0[km] race? Express your answer in seconds. Ignore the time it takes to reach this speed, and assume the runner is always at this speed.

- The acceleration of a particle is given by a = 2t-20, where a is in meters per second squared and t is in seconds. Determine the velocity and displacement as functions of time. The initial displacement at t = 0 is so = -5 m, and the initial velocity is vo = 6 m/s. Once you have determined the functions of time, answer the questions.

(b) Ancient footprints of a dinosaur are roughly 1.4 m in diameter, corresponding to a leg length of roughly 5.6 m. By comparing the stride divided by the leg length with that of various modern creatures, it can be determined that the Froude number for this dinosaur is roughly 0.025.
