Three students are discussing the motion of an object which is described by the following equation: x(t)= -4m -(9m/s)t + (2m/s^2)t^2
the students make the following contentions about the motion during the first 2 seconds: amadeo: "i think this object's instantaneous speed will increase with time since the acceleration is positive.
barrett: "no, the object will have a decreasing speed, since the acceleration is directed opposite to the initial velocity
chinue: "i don't think we can tell what will happen to the speed from this equation, since it tells us about the position as a function of time, not about speed or velocity."
which, if any, of these three students do you agree with?
a. amadeo
b. barrett
c. chinue
e. none of them.
