(b) the velocity, and (c) the acceleration of the particle at t=3 s . (d) What is the maximum positive coordinate reached by the particle and (e) at what time is it reached? (f) What is the maximum positive velocity reached by the particle, and (g) at what time is it reached? (h) What is the acceleration of the particle at the instant the particle is not moving?

(a) The position at t=3.0 s is 54 m

(b) Velocity at t=3.0 s is 18 m/s

(c) Acceleration at t=3.0 s is-12m/s2

(d) Maximum positive coordinate is 64 m

(e) Time at maximum positive coordinate is 4 s

(f) Maximum positive velocity is 24 m/s

(g) Time at maximum velocity is 2.0 s

(h) Acceleration at maximum t is -24m/s2

(i) Average velocity betweent=0 and t=3 s is 18 m/s

Step by step solution

01

Given information

x(t)=12t2-2t3

02

To understand the concept of average velocity 

The problem deals with the average velocity which is the displacement over the time. Here position of particle at any time t can be found by plugging this time in given equation. We can take derivative of the given position equation with respect to t to get equation of velocity and acceleration. Using conditionv=0, we can find time at that point and then using that time we can find maximum coordinate. For maximum velocity, acceleration should bezero. With this,the time from acceleration equation and ultimately maximum velocity can be found.

Formula:

The velocity in general is given by,

v=dxdt

The average velocity is given by,

vavg=xt

03

 Step 3: Derive expression for velocity and acceleration

x(t)=12t2-2t3

v=dxdt=24t-6t2

a=dvdt=24-12t

04

Calculate the position, velocity and acceleration at t=3 s

x(t)=12t2-2t3

By plugging the values we get position,

xt=123.02-23.03=54m

Similarly,

Velocity at t=3.0 s,

v3=243-632=18m/s

Acceleration att=3.0 s,

a3=24-123=-12m/s2

05

Calculate the maximum positive coordinate reached by the particle and the time at which it is reached

At maximum coordinatev=0.

By solving=0we get,

0=24t-6t2

t=24I6=4s

For this time, maximum position can be calculated by plugging the value in equation of position:

x=12(4)2-2(4)3

x=64m

06

Calculate the maximum positive velocity reached by the particle and the time at which it is reached

For maximum positive velocity acceleration should bezero.

By solving acceleration equation for t we get,

t=24/12=2.0s

Using this time in velocity equation we get,

v=24m/s

07

Step 7: Calculate the acceleration of the particle at the instant the particle is not moving

At t=4sparticle is motionless.

Using this time we get acceleration,

a=24-124=-24m/s2

08

Calculate the average velocity of the particle between t=0 and t=3 s.

Using equation of average velocity to find velocity at t=0s to 3s

v=xt=54-03-0=18m/s
