- An object accelerating at constant acceleration (a) has an initial velocity v0 (at t=0), a velocity v at time t, and goes a particular distance d or x - x0 during the time interval. Derive the expression relating v0, v, a, and d (or x-x0). The relation must not include time. You may use either algebra or calculus.arrow_forwardIn this problem you will determine the average velocity of a moving object from the graph of its position x(t)x(t) as a function of time ttt. A traveling object might move at different speeds and in different directions during an interval of time, but if we ask at what constant velocity the object would have to travel to achieve the same displacement over the given time interval, that is what we call the object's average velocity. We will use the notation vave[t1,t2]vave[t1,t2] to indicate average velocity over the time interval from t1 to t2. For instance, vave[1,3]vave[1,3] is the average velocity over the time interval from t=1 to t=3. find V(ave) [0,3]arrow_forwardThe acceleration of a particle is defined by the relation a= -k/v, where k is a constant.

(a) What is its velocity at t = 1 s? (Indicate the direction with the sign of your answer.) X The velocity function is the time derivative of the position function.
