The position function x(t) of a particle moving along an x

Chapter , Problem 16

(choose chapter or problem)

The position function x(t) of a particle moving along an x axis is \(x=4.0-6.0 t^{2}\), with x in meters and t in seconds.

(a) At what time and

(b) where does the particle (momentarily) stop? At what

(c) negative time and

(d) positive time does the particle pass through the origin?

(e) Graph x versus t for the range −5 s to +5 s.

(f) To shift the curve rightward on the graph, should we include the term +20t or the term −20t in x(t)?

(g) Does that inclusion increase or decrease the value of x at which the particle momentarily stops?
