.

satellite73 (satellite73):

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):

?

satellite73 (satellite73):

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?

OpenStudy (chris215):

@satellite73

OpenStudy (chris215):

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. "

ohhhh ok just that i get it thanks so much!!
