Question
Given the acceleration of an object and its initial velocity, how do you find the velocity of the object, for $t \geq 0 ?$
Step 1
This is because acceleration is the derivative of velocity, so the integral of acceleration gives us velocity. This can be written as: \[v(t) = \int a(t) dt\] Show more…

Given the velocity of an object and its initial position, how do you find the position of the object, for $t \geq 0 ?$
Vector-Valued Functions
Motion in Space
Compute the velocity and acceleration at time $t=t_{0} .$ Is the object going up or down? $$ h(t)=10 t^{2}-24 t,(a) t_{0}=2(b) t_{0}=1 $$

Velocity and acceleration from position Consider the following position functions. a. Find the velocity and speed of the object. b. Find the acceleration of the object. $$\mathbf{r}(t)=\left\langle 1, t^{2}, e^{-t}\right\rangle, \text { for } t \geq 0$$
