Question

Assuming you have data for time and distance; and that data fits into a quadratic curve -
x = 0.1883t2 - 0.1241t + 0.4361. The unit quantity for 0.1883t2 iscm/s2 , with physical quantityacceleration; the unit quantity for 0.1241t is cm/s, with physicalquantity velocity; and the unit quantity for 0.4361 is cm, with physicalquantity position. Now compare the quadratic curve to the formula  - x= 1/2 at2 + vot + xo. QUESTION Can you summerize if you can or cannot decidethe physical quantity from the quadratic curve?

Explanation / Answer

Multiply the given formula by -1   and -x =-0.1883t2 + 0.1241t - 0.4361 and you have a/2 = -.1883                     v0 = .124                     x0 = -.4361 So the quadratic represents the instaneous displacementx
