one dimensional motion
None

the acceleration of a particle is given by a(t)=3-2t
a)find the initial speed such that the particle will have the same x coordinate at t=5.00s as it had at t=0
b)what will be the velocity at t=5s?

hi integrate it we get 3t - t^2

For initial speed put t = 0

For velocity at 5 sec

put t = 5 sec
U will get the result

Concept v = a * t

Any doubt nudge me

rate if satisfied

a=3-2t
but a =dv/dt
dv/dt=3-2t
dv=(3-2t)dt
integrate u will get it as
v=3t-t^2+u
where u is intial velocity
but v=dx/dt
dx=(3t-t^2+u)dt
integrating u will get it as
x=(3t^2)/2-(t^3)/3+ut+x(0)
where x(0)
is intial position
at t=0 we have it as x(0)
at t=5we get x=75/2-125/3+5u+x(0)
but given at t=5 x=x(0)
equate and u get u=5/6

satisfied???
