IB Year 6 | Grade 12

The velocity of a car at time \(t\) (in seconds) and at displacement \(x\) (in m) is given by \(v = x + 4t\), for \(0 \le t \le 3\). Given that \(x = 0\) when \(t = 0\), find:

  1. The displacement \(x\) in terms of \(t\) only
  2. The acceleration of the car at time \(t = 2\) s

Answer:(a) \(x=4e^t-4t-4\ \mathrm m\), \(0\le t\le3\). (b) \(4e^2\ \mathrm{m\,s^{-2}}\approx29.6\ \mathrm{m\,s^{-2}}\).
