Newton single handedly brought about a new era in our understanding of the physical world, through his famous equation F = ma and the law of gravity. These laws successfully predict the behavior of all phenomena from the microscopic world to the astronomical world! Ofcourse, Einstien changed things once again but that was only after about 4 centuries. Solving Irodov dramatically helped me understand the power, elegance, simplicity and beauty of Physics. Hopefully you will enjoy the journey too.

Irodov Problem 1.22
The first step is to compute the particles displacement as a function of time.
a) Now, we can compute velocity and acceleration simply by differentiating with respect to time successively as,
b) Mean velocity is displacement over time taken and is given by,
