Hello everyone! I have this question given to me by a friend and the question is:
Position of a particle x is given by x^2=t^2 + 1, t is time in second, find acceleration for time t.
So this is what I decide to do:
x^2 = t^2+1
so
x = sqrt(t^2+1)
if you double differentiate the function on RHS
You get:
(t^2+1)^-3/2 or 1/(t^2+1)^3/2
I'd be grateful if you give me the steps for finding the answer (including the steps for finding out the derivative, because I used an online calculator).
