To determine the instantaneous velocity and acceleration of the body, we need to perform the following steps, assuming that 'PT squared' refers to 'P times T squared', where P is a constant and T is time:

  1. Define the displacement equation:
  2. Given: Displacement, s(t) = PT2 + 40T + 7

  3. Calculate the instantaneous velocity:
  4. Instantaneous velocity, v(t), is the first derivative of displacement with respect to time (T).

    v(t) = ds/dt = d(PT2 + 40T + 7)/dt

    v(t) = 2PT + 40

  5. Calculate the instantaneous acceleration:
  6. Instantaneous acceleration, a(t), is the first derivative of velocity with respect to time (T), or the second derivative of displacement with respect to time.

    a(t) = dv/dt = d(2PT + 40)/dt

    a(t) = 2P

Therefore:

  • Instantaneous Velocity: v(t) = 2PT + 40
  • Instantaneous Acceleration: a(t) = 2P
