the car is at rest when the velocity is zero

OpenStudy (chris215):

I got 12.5

OpenStudy (phi):

It looks like you need to first find the formula for the velocity by taking the derivative of distance with respect to time.

OpenStudy (phi):

start with s(t) = 50t - 2t^2, and ds/dt = 50 - 4t and you want the value of t when ds/dt (i.e. the velocity) is 0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

12.5

OpenStudy (chris215):

so I solve for t?? I still get 12.5?

OpenStudy (phi):

yes, you set velocity to 0: 0 = 50 - 4t add +4t to both sides 4t= 50 divide both sides by 4

ok thanks so much!!
