Question 1
A car is traveling along a straight road. Its velocity as a function of time is
given by the equation v(t)=3t2−6t, where vis in m/s and tis in seconds.
a) Find the acceleration of the car at t= 2 seconds.
b) Determine the time when the car comes to a stop.
c) Calculate the distance traveled by the car from t= 0 to the time when it
comes to a stop.
Solution:
a) To find the acceleration of the car, we differentiate the velocity equation
with respect to time.
a(t) = dv
dt
=d
dt(3t2−6t)
= 6t−6
Now, substitute t= 2 seconds into the acceleration equation:
a(2) = 6(2) −6
a(2) = 12 −6
a(2) = 6 m/s2
Therefore, the acceleration of the car at t= 2 seconds is 6 m/s2.
b) The car comes to a stop when its velocity is zero. So, we set the velocity
equation equal to zero and solve for t:
3t2−6t= 0
3t(t−2) = 0
This equation is satisfied when t= 0 or t= 2 seconds. Therefore, the car
comes to a stop at t= 0 or t= 2 seconds.
c) To calculate the distance traveled by the car, we need to find the dis-
placement. Displacement is the area under the velocity-time graph. Since the
1
car comes to a stop at t= 0 and t= 2 seconds, we can find the distance traveled
by calculating the area under the curve from t= 0 to t= 2 seconds.

2(−9.8) =−400
−19.6= 20.41 m.
Therefore, the object reaches a maximum height of 20.41 m.
(b) To find the time it takes for the object to reach the maximum
height, we can use the equation for time:
t=vf−vi
a,
where the final velocity vf= 0.
Plugging in the values:
t=0−20
−9.8=−20
−9.8= 2.04 s.
Therefore, it takes the object 2.04 seconds to reach the maximum
height.
(c) The total time the object is in the air can be calculated by
doubling the time it takes to reach the maximum height, as the object
will spend an equal amount of time on the way down. Therefore, the
total time in the air is:
2×2.04 = 4.08 s.
Thus, the total time the object is in the air until it hits the ground
is 4.08 seconds.
