1. The position of a particle moving along a coordinate axis is given by: s(t) = t^2 - 5t + 1. a) Find the speed of the particle b) Find the acceleration of the particle c) Find the velocity of the particle

Respuesta :

Answer: [tex]\left | 2t-5\right |,\ 2,\ 2t-5[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Position of the particle moving along the coordinate axis is given by

[tex]s(t)=t^2-5t+1[/tex]

Speed of the particle is given by

[tex]\Rightarrow v=\dfrac{ds}{dt}\\\\\Rightarrow v=\dfrac{d(t^2-5t+1)}{dt}\\\\\Rightarrow v=\left | 2t-5\right |[/tex]

Acceleration of the particle is

[tex]\Rightarrow a=\dfrac{dv}{dt}\\\\\Rightarrow a=2[/tex]

velocity can be negative, but speed cannot

[tex]\Rightarrow v=\dfrac{ds}{dt}\\\\\Rightarrow v=\dfrac{d(t^2-5t+1)}{dt}\\\\\Rightarrow v=2t-5[/tex]
