HELPP PLEASEE!!!! The vector position of a particle varies in time according to the expression r = 5.00 − 5.00t2 where r is in meters and t is in seconds. Calculate the particle's position and velocity at t = 3.00 s.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

dude just sub in t=3 into your equation...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thts wrong

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hmm whats the answer supposed to be?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

idk but i put 5.00-5.00(3)^2 and that was wrong

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is this part of the calculus course? like do you know what derivative is?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes this is part of a calculus class can you please explain to me how u geet the answer please??i got an hour to complete this and i do not understand it at all

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm actually not too sure.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im assuming this equation is s(t) and you have to take the derivative to find velocity. you could try that. is ther no answer in the back of the textbook?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

this is a homework that i have online. this is not in the book.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay I thought about it, you do just sub in 3 for postion but because you get a negative answer you just say its heading left/west

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and to find velocity just find the derivative of this equation and sub in 3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

for t

OpenStudy (loser66):

can I say something?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

please do

OpenStudy (loser66):

you have equation for r , at t =0 , r = 5.00 . at t =3 r =... something, so after 3s, you must have r(3) -r(0)

OpenStudy (loser66):

sorry, I just follow the logic, never take physics before, If I am wrong, I apology for that. @dan815

OpenStudy (anonymous):

not right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

...so whos right. and how do we do this?

OpenStudy (dan815):

The vector position of a particle varies in time according to the expression r = 5.00 − 5.00t2 where r is in meters and t is in seconds. Calculate the particle's position and velocity at t = 3.00 s.

OpenStudy (loser66):

dan, engineering student like you must have physics
