An object moves in one dimensional motion with constant acceleration a = 7.4 m/s². At
time t = 0 s, the object is at x = 3.2 m and has an initial velocity of vo = 4 m/s.
How far will the object move before it achieves a velocity of v = 6.6 m/s?
Your answer should be accurate to the nearest 0.1 m.
A particle moving in 1D has time-dependent velocity which is given by the quadratic function v(t) = At2 + Bt + C, where A = 4.5 m/s3, B = 3.6 m/s2, and C = −1.7 m/s. a) Find the average acceleration of the particle between t = 0 s and 2.5 s. b) Find the average acceleration of the particle between t = 2.5 s and 5.0 s. c) At what time(s) is the particle at rest?
