Problem Statement:

A material point with a mass of 3kg3 \, \text{kg} moves in a straight line according to the law: S(t)=4t26t+5S(t) = 4t^2 - 6t + 5 Find the kinetic energy at time t=2t = 2.

Formula for kinetic energy:

Ek=mv22E_k = \frac{mv^2}{2}

Solution:

  1. Determine the velocity: The velocity v(t)v(t) is the derivative of the displacement S(t)S(t) with respect to time tt: v(t)=dS(t)dt=ddt(4t26t+5)v(t) = \frac{dS(t)}{dt} = \frac{d}{dt}(4t^2 - 6t + 5) Calculating the derivative: v(t)=8t6v(t) = 8t - 6

  2. Find the velocity at t=2t = 2: v(2)=8×26=166=10m/sv(2) = 8 \times 2 - 6 = 16 - 6 = 10 \, \text{m/s}

  3. Calculate the kinetic energy using the formula Ek=mv22E_k = \frac{mv^2}{2}: Ek=3×1022=3×1002=150JE_k = \frac{3 \times 10^2}{2} = \frac{3 \times 100}{2} = 150 \, \text{J}

Thus, the kinetic energy at t=2t = 2 is: Ek=150JE_k = 150 \, \text{J}
