Question: The acceleration of a particle is defined by the relation a = kt2. (a) Knowing that v = - 8 m/s when t = 0

The acceleration of a particle is defined by the relation a = kt2.

(a) Knowing that v = - 8 m/s when t = 0 and that v = + 8 m/s when t = 2 s, determine the constant k.

(b) Write the equations of motion, knowing also that x = 0 when t = 2 s.
