Question

Consider a particle moving along the x-axis where x(t) is the position of the particle at time t, x'(t) is its velocity, and x''(t) is its acceleration. A particle moves along the x-axis at a velocity of v(t) = 5/?t, t > 0. At time t = 1, its position is x = 11. Find the acceleration and position functions for the particle. a(t) = x(t) =

Step 1

So, we can find the position function by integrating the velocity function. Given v(t) = S/√t, we integrate to find x(t): ∫v(t) dt = ∫S/√t dt = 2S√t + C, where C is the constant of integration. We know that at t = 1, x = 11. So we can substitute these values Show more…

Consider a particle moving along the x-axis where x(t) is the position of the particle at time t, x'(t) is its velocity, and x''(t) is its acceleration. A particle moves along the x-axis at a velocity of v(t) = 5/∙t, t > 0. At time t = 1, its position is x = 11. Find the acceleration and position functions for the particle.
