The velocity of a car at time, ts^-1, during the first 20 s of its journey, is given by v = kt + 0.03t^2, where k is a constant. When t = 20 the acceleration of the car is 1.3ms^-2, what is the value of k?

Our task is to find out the value of k, which we can determine from the equations for velocity or acceleration if we know 2 of the 3 variables in either equation. We are given the value of acceleration at...
