Question

Find the velocity (in ft/sec) of the particle at time t = 4

A) v = 0
B) v > 0
C) v < 0
D) Not enough information

Answer 1

The student's question cannot be answered because there is not enough information provided to determine the velocity of the particle at time t = 4 seconds.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question does not provide enough information to determine the velocity of the particle at time t = 4 seconds. The formula given is v(t) = A + Bt¯¹, where A = 2 m/s, B = 0.25 m, and the time t is between 1.0 s and 8.0 s. Without the actual function or additional context, we cannot conclude the particle's velocity at t = 4. To answer the student's question, we need to know the specific function describing the particle's velocity, or need additional details about its behavior at t = 4 seconds.

If we had the function, we would substitute t = 4 into the equation to find the velocity. However, in this case, the correct choice is D) Not enough information.
