An object starts from rest at the origin (x0 = 0) and travels in a straight line with a constant acceleration (a = constant). Suppose the relation between the position (x) and time (t) is given by x = (3.4 m/s2) t2 What is the acceleration of the object?

Answer:


a=(6.8)\ m/s^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

An object starts from rest at the origin (x₀ = 0) and travels in a straight line with a constant acceleration (a = constant).

The relation between the position (x) and time (t) is given by :


x=(3.4t^2)\ m/s^2

Let v is the velocity of the object.


v=(dx)/(dt)


v=(d(3.4t^2))/(dt)


v=(6.8t)\ m/s

Let a is the acceleration of the object. It is given by :


a=(dv)/(dt)


a=(d(6.8t))/(dt)


a=(6.8)\ m/s^2

So, the acceleration of the object is
(6.8)\ m/s^2. Hence, this is the required solution.
