Chapter 12 Problem 12-14

Question

The position of a particle along a straight-line path is defined by s = (t 3 - 6t 2 - 15t + 7) ft, where t is in seconds. Determine the total distance traveled when t = 10 s. What are the particles average velocity, average speed, and the instantaneous velocity and acceleration at this time?

Solution

Step 1 of 6)

The first step in solving 12 problem number 14 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: The position of a particle along a straight-line path is defined by s = (t 3 - 6t 2 - 15t + 7) ft, where t is in seconds. Determine the total distance traveled when t = 10 s. What are the particles average velocity, average speed, and the instantaneous velocity and acceleration at this time?
From the textbook chapter Kinematics of a Particle you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
