Question 1028019: I need help with this problem:
A particle moves down the x-axis so that its acceleration is given by a(t) = 6t - 2. If its velocity at t = 2 and its position at t = 0 is 2, develop the equations which express the particle's position and velocity as a function of t. Answer by fractalier(6550) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Given a(t), we can integrate to find v(t)...
Now when t = 0, v = 2, so we can find the first constant... so that
Now integrate once again to find position...
Now when t = 0, x = 2, we have
