If we know the acceleration function for the moving object i
If we know the acceleration function for the moving object is a(t) = 12t + 1, and we also know that at the lime t = 0, the object moving at the velocity of 1 mph from the ground, please find the velocity function and the distance function.
Solution
a(t) = 12t+1
v(t) = integral(12t+1)
= 6t2+t+c
v(0) = 1 so c = 1
v(t) = 6t2+t+1
s(t) = integral(6t2+t+1)
= 2t3+t2/2+t+c
at t=0 a=1,v=1
s(0)=v2/2a = 1/2 so c=1/2
s(t)=2t3+t2/2+t+1/2
