2. 1D Motion / Kinematics / Vectors, Scalars, & Displacement / Problem 2

The equation vx2 = (nP0/m)t describes the velocity of an engine-powered device for time t1 = 0 and t2 = 30 s.  During this time interval, the engine is at its peak acceleration. The equation contains an engine's power in multiples of P0 (nP0) in watts, the device's mass, m in kg, and v in m/s. The equation is interpreted as v2 having a direct relationship with t. Derive an expression for the acceleration in terms of P0, m, and t that can be used to determine acceleration at a time, t ≤ 30 s.
