Chapter 5, Problem 31

(choose chapter or problem)

Suppose that at time \(t = 0\) a particle is at the origin of an \(x\) - axis and has a velocity of \(v_{0}=25 \mathrm{~cm} / \mathrm{s}\). For the first 4 s thereafter it has no acceleration, and then it is acted on by a retarding force that produces a constant negative acceleration of \(a=-10 \mathrm{~cm} / \mathrm{s}^{2}\).

(a) Sketch the acceleration versus time curve over the interval \(0 \leq t \leq 12\).

(b) Sketch the velocity versus time curve over the time interval \(0 \leq t \leq 12\).

(c) Find the \(x\) - coordinate of the particle at times \(t =8\) s and \(t = 12\) s.

(d) What is the maximum \(x\) - coordinate of the particle over the time interval \(0 \leq t \leq 12\)?
