A particle moves along a straight line such that its position is given by : x = 105 + 100t 5t2 m where t is in seconds , determine : a the time after which the particle passes through the origin . b the distance traveled during this time interval . 2. A particle moves along a straight line such that its position is defined by : x = 2t3 + 3t2 12t 10 m where t is in seconds. Determine, a the velocity and the acceleration after 3 seconds . b the distance traveled during the first 2 seconds . 3. Starting from the origin from rest, a particle moving in a straight line has an acceleration a = 2t 6 m/s2 where t is in seconds. What is the velocity and the position of the particle

after 6 seconds . 4. The acceleration of a particle is given by : a = - 6t m/s2 where t is in seconds. If the

particle starts from the origin with an initial velocity of 27 m/s , determine the distance traveled before it stops . 5. The acceleration of a particle is given by : a = - 100/x2 m/s2 where x is in meters , the

initial position of the particle is : xo = 8 m and the particle velocity vanishes at an infinite distance from the origin . Determine : a the initial velocity of the motion. b the position and the velocity of the particle after 4 seconds.
