Complete question:
The coordinate of a particle in meters is given by x(t)=1 6t- 3.0t³ , where the time tis in seconds. The
particle is momentarily at rest at t is:
Select one:
a. 9.3s
b. 1.3s
C. 0.75s
d.5.3s
e. 7.3s
Answer:
b. 1.3 s
Explanation:
Given;
position of the particle, x(t)=1 6t- 3.0t³
when the particle is at rest, the velocity is zero.
velocity = dx/dt
dx /dt = 16 - 9t²
16 - 9t² = 0
9t² = 16
t² = 16 /9
t = √(16 / 9)
t = 4/3
t = 1.3 s
Therefore, the particle is momentarily at rest at t = 1.3 s
