Answer:
v_max = (1/6)e^-1 a
Explanation:
You have the following equation for the instantaneous speed of a particle:
(1)
To find the expression for the maximum speed in terms of the acceleration "a", you first derivative v(t) respect to time t:
(2)
where you have use the derivative of a product.
Next, you equal the expression (2) to zero in order to calculate t:
For t = 1/6 you obtain the maximum speed.
Then, you replace that value of t in the expression (1):
hence, the maximum speed is v_max = ((1/6)e^-1)a
