TRUCK AND TRAILER 2

Type the formula for trailer. Click "test" ...   x(t) = 

 

Mr. Kambule has stopped at a stop sign with his trailer. Then he starts to move - he needs his trailer to accelerate with his truck. Help him by giving the trailer the correct formula of motion.

Type the formula into the box and click "Test" ... If the two vehicles do not move together so that the hookups match exactly, check you calculations! Make sure you use the correct syntax, e.g. * for multiplication and t as the variable.

By now you know that accelerated motion is modelled by the function x(t) = x0+ v0t  + 0,5at2.

What is the starting position x0 of the trailer?    

What is the value of v0?    

What is the value of the acceleration a?
