(a) Find ( v(t) ) (3 marks) (b) Find ( s(t) ) (2 marks) A particle moves with acceleration [ a = 12\sqrt{t} \quad (t \ge 0) ] Given that ( v = 10 ) when ( t = 4 ) and ( s = 20 ) when ( t = 4 ): --- Integral Variable Acceleration Topic Assessment Answers
(b) ( s(t) = \int \left(6 - \frac{4}{t+1}\right) dt = 6t - 4\ln(t+1) + D ) ( s(0) = 0 - 0 + D = 0 \Rightarrow D = 0 ) [ s(t) = 6t - 4\ln(t+1) ] (a) ( v(t) = \int 12 t^{1/2} dt = 12 \cdot \frac{2}{3} t^{3/2} + C = 8 t^{3/2} + C ) ( v(4) = 8 \cdot 8 + C = 64 + C = 10 \Rightarrow C = -54 ) [ v(t) = 8t^{3/2} - 54 ] (a) Find ( v(t) ) (3 marks) (b)
Find: (a) The velocity ( v(t) ) (2 marks) (b) The displacement ( s(t) ) (2 marks) (c) The displacement when ( t = 3 ) seconds (2 marks) The acceleration of a particle is given by [ a(t) = \frac{4}{(t+1)^2}, \quad t \ge 0 ] At ( t = 0 ), ( v = 2 \ \text{m/s} ) and ( s = 0 ). --- Integral Variable Acceleration Topic Assessment Answers
(b) ( v(t) = 0 \Rightarrow \frac{t^2}{2}\left(3 - \frac{t}{3}\right) = 0 ) ( t = 0 ) or ( t = 9 ) seconds (answer: ( t = 9 ))
(b) ( s(t) = \int (3t^2 - 4t + 5), dt = t^3 - 2t^2 + 5t + D ) ( s(0) = 2 \Rightarrow D = 2 ) [ s(t) = t^3 - 2t^2 + 5t + 2 ]
