Here's the solution for question 4:

Given the velocity v=5t2−10tv = 5t^2 - 10t.

Part a· 3 steps

Find the instant when velocity is zero.

  1. Set the velocity equation to zero.

    v=5t2−10t=0v = 5t^2 - 10t = 0
  2. Factor out $5t$.

    5t(t−2)=05t(t - 2) = 0
  3. Solve for tt.

    This gives two possible values for tt:

    5t=0  ⟹  t=0 s5t = 0 \implies t = 0 \text{ s} t−2=0  ⟹  t=2 st - 2 = 0 \implies t = 2 \text{ s}

    The velocity is zero at t=0 s or 2 st = \boxed{\text{0 s or 2 s}}.

Part b

1 s\text{1 s}

Find the instant when acceleration is zero.

  1. Differentiate the velocity equation to find the acceleration aa.

    The acceleration aa is given by a=dvdta = \frac{dv}{dt}.

    a=ddt(5t2−10t)a = \frac{d}{dt}(5t^2 - 10t) a=10t−10a = 10t - 10
  2. Set the acceleration equation to zero.

    10t−10=010t - 10 = 0
  3. Solve for tt.

    10t=1010t = 10 t=1010t = \frac{10}{10} t=1 st = 1 \text{ s}

    The acceleration is zero at t=1 st = \boxed{\text{1 s}}.
