Chapter 2, Problem 4CQ

(a) Can the equations in Table 2.4 be used in a situation where the acceleration varies with time? (b) Can they be used when the acceleration is zero?

Table 2.4 Equations for Motion in a Straight Line Under Constant Acceleration

Equation	Information Given by Equation
v = v0 + at	velocity as a function of time
Δx = v0t + $\frac{1}{2}$at2	Displacement as a function of time
v2 = ${\text{v}}_0^2$ + 2aΔx	Velocity as a function if displacement
Note: Motion is along the x -axis. At t = 0,	the velocity of the particle is v
