As a ball rolls down an inclined plane, its velocity v(t) (in cm/sec) at time t (in seconds) is given by v(t) = v0 + at for initial velocity v0 and acceleration a (in cm/sec2). If v(3) = 41 and v(5) = 45, find v0 and a.

Step 1

From v(3) = 41, we get: 41 = v0 + 3a From v(5) = 45, we get: 45 = v0 + 5a Now we have a system of two equations, and we can solve it to find the values of v0 and a. Subtract the first equation from the second to eliminate v0: Show more…
