Problem: An object is having a displacement equation as y(t) = a+bt+ct²-pt³. Find out velocity
and acceleration of the object at t = 10 seconds.
1. Velocity Calculation
y(t) = a+bt+ct²-pt³
v = dy/dt
= d/dt (a+bt+ct²-pt³)
= d/dt(a) + d/dt(bt) + d/dt(ct²) - d/dt(pt³)
= 0 + b d/dt t + c d/dt t² - p d/dt t³
v = b + 2ct - 3pt²
At t = 10s:
v(t=10s) = b + 2c(10) - 3p(10)²
= b + 20c - 300p
2. Acceleration Calculation
a = dv/dt
= d/dt (b + 2ct - 3pt²)
= d/dt(b) + d/dt(2ct) - d/dt(3pt²)
= 0 + 2c d/dt t - 3p d/dt t²
a = 2c - 6pt
At t = 10s:
a(t=10s) = 2c - 6p(10)
= 2c - 60p
