PART A

1. The acceleration of a body along a straight line is given by (a = 2 (ms-3) t -10 (ms-2). Initial position is 1.8 m and initial velocity is 15 ms-1. Determine the position of the particle, the total distance travelled and the velocity after 12 seconds of start.

Please type your subject in the School Subject box. Any other words, including obscure abbreviations, are likely to delay responses from a teacher who knows that subject well.
substituting t=12s gives
a = 2(12) - 10 = 14m/s-2
Using the formula
d = Vit +1/2 at^2
d = 15(12) + 0.5 (14)12^2
d = 180 + 1008
d = 1188 meters (distance traveled)
add the initial position
d = 1188 + 1.8 = 1189.8 (Position of particle)
I hope this is correct... :(
