Chapter 2, Problem 2.81P
CALC An object is moving along the x-axis. At t = 0 it has velocity υ0x = 20.0 m/s. Starting at time t = 0 it has acceleration ax = −Ct, where C has units of m/s3. (a) What is the value of C if the object stops in 8.00 s after t = 0? (b) For the value of C calculated in part (a), how far does the object travel during the 8.00 s?

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
