Homework Statement
The velocity of an object as a function of time is given by:
Vx(t) = 12t2 - 5t + 40 m/s
Vy(t) = 5t - 30 m/s
What is position at 2 sec if the object has an initial position of x = 5 m and y = 8 m?
What is the instantaneous acceleration at 10 s?
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
I started by just plugging time (2 sec) into the equation to get the velocity and then writing that out in component form (V = Vxi + Vyj = 78i - 20j), but it asks for position/acceleration and I'm not entirely sure how to go about solving for that.
