The acceleration of a motorcycle is given by a = 1.5t - 0.10t2 . The motorcycle is at rest at the origin at time t=0. 1. Find its position as a function of time. 2. Calculate the maximum Velocity
Added by Thomas B.
Step 1
To find the position as a function of time, we need to integrate the acceleration function with respect to time twice. First, integrate the acceleration function to get the velocity function: v(t) = ∫(1.5t - 0.10t^2) dt v(t) = 1.5(t^2/2) - 0.10(t^3/3) + C1 v(t) Show more…

The acceleration of a motorcycle is given by $a_x(t) = At - Bt^2$ where $A =$ 1.50 m/s$^3$ and $B$ = 0.120 m/s$^4$. The motorcycle is at rest at the origin at time $t =$ 0. (a) Find its position and velocity as functions of time. (b) Calculate the maximum velocity it attains.

Velocity and Position by Integration
The motorcycle is traveling at $1 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}$ when it is at $A .$ If the speed is then increased at $v=0.1 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}^{2},$ determine its speed and acceleration at the instant $t=5 \mathrm{s}$
