Example Question #351 : Velocity
Find the velocity function of the particle if its initial velocity is 5 and its acceleration is given by:
To find the velocity function of the particle, we must integrate the accleration function:
The integral was found using the following rule:
To find what C equals, we plug in the initial condition that at t=0, v=5:

Example Question #359 : Spatial Calculus
If x(t) gives the position of a particle as a function of time, find the velocity function of the particle.
If x(t) gives the position of a particle as a function of time, find the velocity function of the particle.
Recall that velocity is the derivative of position, and acceleration is the derivative of velocity.
To find our answer, we need the derivative of x(t).
We need to recall three seperate rules to find this derivative.
First: the derivative of any polynomial can be found by multiplying by the exponent and decreasing the exponent by 1
Second: the derivative of is
Third: The derivative of ln(x) is equal to
Put all that together and find our velocity function:
