What is velocity is the derivative of displacement?
Show answer
Because velocity is the rate of change of displacement, you find it by differentiating ss with respect to time:
What is acceleration is the derivative of velocity?
Show answer
Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity, so differentiate again:
What is finding when a particle is at rest?
Show answer
A particle is instantaneously at rest when its velocity is zero. So set the velocity function equal to zero and solve for tt:
What is q1?
Show answer
Given s=t2+2ts = t^2 + 2t, find the velocity function. [1 mark]
What is q2?
Show answer
Given v=4t8v = 4t - 8, find the time when the particle is at rest. [2 marks]
What is q3?
Show answer
Given s=t33ts = t^3 - 3t, find the acceleration at t=2t = 2. [3 marks]
