A particle P moves in a straight line with position given by s(t)=80et1040tms(t)=80 e^{-\frac{t}{10}}-40 t \mathrm{m} where t is the time in seconds, t0t \geqslant 0. Find the initial position, velocity, and acceleration of P.

Step 1
1 of 2

Plug in t=0t=0 to find the initial conditions:

s(0)=80e0/1040(0)=80 mv(0)=8e0/1040=840=48 m/sa(0)=45e0/10=45=0.8 m/s2\begin{aligned} s(0) &= 80 e^{-0/10} - 40(0) = 80 \qquad \text{ m} \\\\ v(0) &= -8 e^{-0/10} -40 = -8-40 = -48 \qquad \text{ m/s} \\\\ a(0) &= \dfrac{ 4}{5 } e^{-0/10} = \dfrac{ 4}{5 } = 0.8 \qquad \text{ m/s}^2 \end{aligned}
