This way when I take two derivatives, there will be no t left.
-
Well, unfortunately, we know this is not the right answer,
-
because if you take the first derivative, I get 2t.
-
If I take the second derivative I get 2,
-
but I want to get a and not 2.
-
Then it's very clear the way you patch it up
-
is you multiply it by this constant and now we're all set.
-
This function will have the right second derivative.
-
So, this certainly describes a particle whose acceleration is a.
-
The a is not dependent on time.
-
But the question is,
-
is this the most general answer,
