Answer:
A.) 39.5 m
B.) 0
C.) 60m/s^2
Explanation:
Given that a displacement function of a particle is x(t)=(20t^2-15t+200).
To Find the total displacement,
Reduce everything by dividing them by 5
X(t) = 4t^2 - 3t + 40 ...... (1)
For instantaneous velocity, differentiate x(t). That is,
dy/dt = 60t - 15 ...... (2)
But dy/dt = velocity.
If dy/dt = 0, then
60t - 15 = 0
60t = 15
t = 15/60
t = 0.25s
Substitutes t in equation (1)
Total displacement will be
X(t) = 4(0.25)^2 - 3(0.25) + 40
X(t) = 0.25 - 0.75 + 40
Total displacement = 39.5 m
To calculate instantaneous velocity, substitute t into equation (2)
V = 60 (0.25) - 15
V = 0.
and to find instantaneous acceleration, differentiate dv/dt
dv/dt = 60
Therefore, acceleration = 60 m/s^2
