Answer:
Explanation:
a ) x ( t ) = t³ / 3 - t² + t
v = dx / dt = 3 t² / 3 - 2 t + 1 = t² - 2 t + 1
b ) lizard is at rest , v( t ) = 0
t² - 2 t + 1 = 0
( t - 1 )² = 0
t = 1
c )
velocity is positive when
t² - 2 t + 1 > 0
( t - 1 ) ² > 0
Here we see that LHS is a square so it is always positive whatever be the value of t
So velocity is always positive or lizard is always moving in positive x direction .
d ) It never moves in negative x direction .
e )
a ( t ) = dv / dt = 2t - 2
t = 1
so it has zero acceleration at t = 0 .
