A particle moves along the x axis according to the equation x = 6t² where x is in meters and t is in seconds.Therefore: A)the acceleration of the particle is 6 m/s² B)t cannot be negative C)the particle follows a parabolic path D)each second the velocity of the particle changes by 9.8 m/s E)none of the above

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The equation provided, x = 6t, suggests a linear relationship between position x and time t, indicating constant velocity, not acceleration or a parabolic path. The equation does not imply that t cannot be negative, as negative time values could represent times before a chosen starting point. The equation also does not specify a change in velocity of 9.8 m/s each second, which is the acceleration due to gravity and unrelated to the given equation.
