Physics problem.

[fredecus]

I went brain dead when trying to help a friend. It's all 1-d Motion.

From the following expression x(t)=6m-(8m/s)t+(1m/s^2)t^2

How can I graph this in position v time.... -.-

 

[Imagine]

What do you mean?

You could just have time as the x axis, and more or less evaluate it every second to see where you should have the plot go through (on the y axis?)

or you could use calculus & concativity and that fun stuff, but it isn't necessary.

Oh dear.

Just take the units out and make a graph.

x=6-8t+t^2
