meters. Determine the particle’s velocity when s = 2 m, if it starts from rest when s = 1 m.

2. A particle travels along a straight line with a constant acceleration. When s = 4 ft, v = 3 ft/s and when
s = 10 ft, v = 8 ft/s. Determine the velocity as a function of position.

3. A particle is moving with a velocity of v0 when s = 0 and t = 0. If it is subjected to a deceleration of


a = -kv3, where k is a constant, determine its velocity and position as functions of time.

4. A particle is moving along a straight line such that its acceleration is defined as a = (-2v) m/s2, where v
is in meters per second. If v = 20 m/s when s = 0 and t = 0, determine the particle’s position, velocity,

is in seconds. Construct the v–t and a–t graphs for the time interval 0 ≤ t ≤ 4 s.

7. If the position of a particle is defined by s = [2 sin (π/5)t + 4] m, where t is in seconds, construct the s-
t, v-t, and a-t graphs for 0 ≤ t ≤ 10 s.

time interval t = 1 s to t = 3 s.
