Question

1. A particle is moving along the x-axis. Its position as a function of time is given as x = bt − ct 2 . a) What must be the units of the constants b and c, if x is in meters and t in seconds?

Answer 1

Answer:

Given x = bt-c²

We know that t= time (s)

x= distance (m)

So

bxt= meters

m/s x s= m

And then c= m/s²

And b= m/s
