The movement of a point is given by the equation x = 4 + 5t + 2t ^ 2. Determine the starting coordinate of the movement, starting speed and acceleration. What is the displacement of the body 5 s after the start of the movement?
Given:
x = 4 + 5 * t + 2 * t ^ 2 – the equation of body motion;
t = 5 seconds.
It is required to find the initial coordinate X0, the initial velocity V0, the acceleration of the body a and the displacement of the body through time t.
The general equation of body motion is:
x (t) = X0 + V0 * t + a * t ^ 2 / 2. Substituting the known values from our equation, we get:
Initial coordinate X0 = 4 m;
Initial speed V0 = 5 m / s;
The acceleration of the body is a = 4 m / s ^ 2.
Let’s calculate the displacement:
S = 4 + 5 * t + 2 * t ^ 2 = 4 + 5 * 5 + 2 * 5 ^ 2 = 4 + 25 + 50 = 79 meters.
Answer: the initial coordinate is X0 = 4 m, the initial velocity is V0 = 5 m / s, the acceleration of the body is a = 4 m / s ^ 2, the movement of the body in 5 seconds is 79 meters.
