Kinematics: Position Under Constant Acceleration

Calculus · Calculus — University

Question

A particle has an initial velocity of $v_0 = +12 \text{ ft/s}$ (to the right), an initial position of $s_0 = 0$, and a constant acceleration of $a = -2 \text{ ft/s}^2$ (to the left). Find the position $s$ of the particle at $t = 10 \text{ s}$.
