The motion of a particle along a straight line is described by the equation x=6+4t2 -t 4 , where x is in meter and t is in seconds. Find position, velocity, and acceleration of the object when t=2s.

The position of the particle is 6m

The velocity of the particle is 16 m/s in negative direction

The acceleration of the object is -40 m/s²

Explanation:

Given;

motion of the particle along a straight line as x = 6 + 4t² - t⁴

The position of the object when t = 2s

x = 6 + 4(2)² - (2)⁴

x = 6 + 16 - 16

x = 6m

The velocity of the object when t = 2s

Velocity = dx/dt

dx/dt = 8t - 4t³

when t = 2s

Velocity = 8(2) - 4(2)³

Velocity = 16 - 32

Velocity = -16m/s

Velocity = 16 m/s (in negative direction)

The acceleration of the object when t = 2s

Acceleration = d²x/dt² = 8 - 12t²

Acceleration = 8 - 12 (2)²

Acceleration =  -40 m/s²

answer would be letter choice (a),   a ball resting on a shelf. would be another example of potential energy   >   stored energy > not moving.

a ball spinning on a finger   >   kinetic energy > moving energy

a ball rolling on the ground   >   kinetic energy   > moving energy

a   ball flying through the air   > kinetic energy   >   moving energy
