Unreasonable results. A particle moves along the x-axis according to x(t) = 3t3 + 5t . At what time is the velocity of the particle equal to zero? Is this reasonable?
A particle moving along the x-axis has its velocity described by the function vxvxv_x =2t2m/s=2t2m/s, where tt is in ss. Its initial position is x0x0x_0 = 2.2 mm at t0t0 = 0 ss .
At 1.4 ss , what is the particle's position?
At 1.4 ss , what is the particle's velocity?
At 1.4 ss , what is the particle's acceleration?
The velocity of a particle (in meters per second) is given by v = 16t²i + 4t³j+
(5t + 2)k, where t is in seconds. If the particle is at the origin when t = 0,
determine the magnitude of the particle's acceleration when t = 2 s. Also, what is
the x, y, z coordinate position of the particle at this instant?
