Determine the velocity and position functions of object, Mathematics

Assignment Help:

Determine if the acceleration of an object is given by a = i + 2 j + 6tk find out the object's velocity and position functions here given that the initial velocity is v (0) = j - k and initial position is as r (0) = i - 2 j + 3k.

Solution

We will first obtain the velocity.  To do this all (well almost all) there is a requirement to do is integrate the acceleration.

v (t) = ∫ a (t) dt

= ∫ i + 2j + 6tk dt

= ti + 2t j + 3t2 k + c

To totally get the velocity we will need to find out the "constant" of integration. We can make use of the initial velocity to get this.

j - k = v (0) = c

After that the velocity of the object is,

v (t) = t i + 2t j + 3t2 k + j - k

= t i + (2t + 1) j + (3t2 -1) k

We will find out the position function through integrating the velocity function.

r (t) = ∫ v (t) dt

= ∫ t i + (2t + 1) j + (3t 2 -1) k dt

= 1/2 t2 i + (t2 + t) j + (t3 - t) k + c

By using the initial position gives us,

 i - 2j + 3k = r (0) = c

 thus, the position function is,

r (t) = (1/2 t2 + 1) i + (t2 + t - 2) j + (t3 - t + 3) k
