Question 1
51962

A particle is moving such that its displacement \(x\) cm from the origin after \(t\) seconds is given by:

\[x=t^3-2t^2+t+5\]

Find

i) Formulae for its velocity and acceleration

ii) The initial velocity and acceleration

Part a:
A.
\(v=3t^2-4t+1,\ a=6t-2\)
B.
\(v=3t^2-2t+1,\ a=6t-2\)
C.
\(v=t^2-4t+1,\ a=2t-4\)
D.
\(v=3t^2-4t+1,\ a=6t-4\)
Correct
Part b:
A.
\(v=5\text{ cm/s},\ a=-4\text{ cm/s}^2\)
B.
\(v=1\text{ cm/s},\ a=4\text{ cm/s}^2\)
C.
\(v=1\text{ cm/s},\ a=-4\text{ cm/s}^2\)
Correct
D.
\(v=0\text{ cm/s},\ a=-4\text{ cm/s}^2\)
