take the anti derivative twice, starting with \(a(t)=30\) so \(v(t)=30t+C\)
satellite73 (satellite73):
since initial velocity is \(-10\) i.e. \(v(0)=-10\) you know \(v(t)=30t-10\] then repeat
satellite73 (satellite73):
oops i meant \[v(t)=30t-10\] then take the anti derivative again
OpenStudy (chris215):
so 15t^2 -10t+c
OpenStudy (chris215):
?

yeah but you know C too
satellite73 (satellite73):
since the "initial position" is 4, that means \[s(t)=15t^2-10t+4\]
satellite73 (satellite73):
initial position is what you get when \(t=0\) in other words it is the constant
OpenStudy (chris215):
so s(t)= 4?

4 ft/sec?
OpenStudy (chris215):
..i dont think thats right but im not sure
OpenStudy (irishboy123):
you know that
\(s(t)=15t^2-10t+C\)
and that \(s(0)=15(0)^2-10(0)+C \color{blue}{= 4}\)
so \(C = 4\)
which results in satellite's eqn, viz \(s(t)=15t^2-10t+4\)
and you were asked:
"Find the position function, s(t), describing the motion of the object. "
