A particle moves along the x axis. its position as a function of time is given by x = 6.8 t + 8.5 t^2 , where t is in seconds and x is in meters. what is the acceleration as a function of time?
What will be an ideal response?
Answer:
x = 6.8 t + 8.5 t^2
v=dx/dt=6.8+17t
a=dv/dt=17
17 m/s^2 for all time t
