The position of an object is given by x = at3 - bt2 + ct, where a = 4.1 m/s3, b = 2.2 m/s2, c = 1.7 m/s, and x and t are in si units. what is the instantaneous acceleration of the object when t = 4.1 s?

The answer to your question is: 15 m/s2

Explanation:

Equation    x = at3 - bt2 + ct

a = 4.1 m/s3

b = 2.2 m/s2

c = 1.7 m/s

First we find  x at t = 4.1 s

x = 4.1(4.1)3 - 2.2(4.1)2 + 1.7(4.1)

x = 4.1(68.921) - 2.2(16.81) + 6.97

x = 282.58 - 36.98 + 6.98

x = 252.58 m

Now we find speed

v = x/t = 252.58/ 4.1 = 61.6 m/s

Finally

acceleration = v/t = 61.6/4.1 = 15 m/s2

explanation:

there is no change in the electric potential energy as it is in rest on both conditions.
