    Kinematics: Rectilinear Motion (calculus)

    Hey, thanks for the advice guys. I am still not quite getting it, here is my work: s_2(t_2) = v_{20} t_2 + x_{20} + \frac{1}{6} a_2 t_2^3 v_{20} = v_1(t_1) = v_{10} + a_1 t_1 x_{20} = x_1(t_1) = v_{10} t_1 + \frac{1}{2} a_1 t_1^2 Plugging in the last two into the first: s_2(t_2) = (v_{10}...

    Kinematics: Rectilinear Motion (calculus)

    Hello, first post here. I've used these forums as reference for quite some time, just never actually made an account until now. I'm working through the textbook for my upcoming Intro to Dynamics class and I am having trouble figuring out this problem. It seems like it should be pretty...
