12–1. Starting from rest, a particle moving in a straight line has an acceleration of a = (2t - 6) m>s2, where t is in seconds. What is the particle’s velocity when t = 6 s, and what is its position when t = 11 s?
SOLUTION a = 2t - 6 dv = a dt L0
v
dv =
L0
t
(2t - 6) dt
v = t 2 - 6t ds = v dt L0
s
ds =
s =

When t = 6 s, Ans.
v = 0 When t = 11 s,
Ans.
s = 80.7 m
Ans: v = 0 s = 80.7 m 1
