A particle travels along a straight line with a velocity of v=(20-o.o5s^2)m/s, where s is in meters. Determine the acceleration of the particle at s=15m.

Expert Answer:
v = 20 - 0.05s2
acceleration is given as a = dv/dt = -0.1s.ds/dt
where ds/dt = v
thus, a = -0.1s.v = -0.1s(20-0.05s2) = -2s + 0.005s3
at s = 15 m
the acceleration would be, a = -30 + 16.875 = -13.125 m/s2
