A rock is moving through deep space in the +x direction, at time t = 0 a constant begins to act on it. (Select all that apply.) (a) For time t > 0, which are possible functions x(t) for the rock's position?
Added by Patricia P.
Step 1
At time \( t = 0 \), the rock is moving in the +x direction, which means it has an initial velocity \( v_0 > 0 \). Since it is in deep space, we can assume there are no other forces acting on it initially. Show more…

At time t = 0, a constant force begins to act on a rock moving through deep space in the +x direction. (a) For time t > 0, which are possible functions x(t) for the rock’s position: (1) x = 4t - 3, (2) x = -4t^2 - 6t - 3, (3) x = 4t^2 - 6t - 3? (b) For which function is directed opposite the rock’s initial direction of motion?

At time t = 0 ,constant begins to act on a rock moving through deep space in the + x direction. (a) For time t > 0 ,which are possible functions x(t) for the rocks position: (1) x = 4t - 3, (2) x = - 4t^2 + 6t - 3,(3) x = 4t^2 + 6t - 3 ? (b) For which function is directed opposite the rocks initial direction of motion?

At time t = 0, constant force F begins to act on a rock moving through deep space in the +x direction. Three possible functions of its motion are: (1) x = 4t - 3 (2) x = -4t^2 + 6t - 3 (3) x = 4t^2 + 6t - 3 (a) For time t > 0, which are possible functions x(t) for the rock's position? a. (1) x = 4t - 3 b. (2) x = -4t^2 + 6t - 3 c. (3) x = 4t^2 + 6t - 3 Answer: (b) For which function is F directed opposite the rock's initial direction of motion? a. (1) x = 4t - 3 b. (2) x = -4t^2 + 6t - 3 c. (3) x = 4t^2 + 6t - 3 Answer:
