    Particle Position and Time: Solving for Velocity and Acceleration

    Sorry. Once you get: dx/dt=2(3.2)t-3(1)t^2=0 you would then find the derivative, right or not? Which would be a quadratic function. If so you would then solve that.

    Particle Position and Time: Solving for Velocity and Acceleration

    I noticed that I made a mistake and its m/s^2. Thanks for that, though. Ahh, I noticed I have to move the coefficient down and lessen it by one for the reminder. I presume you would then just fill in with the two numbers given. Am I doing this wrong so far? Next you would get two derivatives...

    Particle Position and Time: Solving for Velocity and Acceleration

    Homework Statement he position of a particle moving along the x-axis depends on the time according to the equation x = ct2 - bt3, where x is in meters and t in seconds. (a) What dimension and units must c have? m/s2 s2/m m2/s s/m2 What dimension and units must b have? s/m3 m3/s...
