Homework Statement
The acceleration of a particle is described by the following:
a=(2t -1) m/s^2
So= 1m
Vo= 2m/s
Find
a) velocity of the particle at 6 seconds
b) its position (Sf) at six seconds
Homework Equations
v=ds/dt
a=dv/dt
a*ds=v*dv
The Attempt at a Solution
Using integration I found velocity to be 32 m/s, (dv=apartdt)
Now I'm stuck on part b and since i have yet to learn how to take a double integral to directly relate the acceleration of the particle to its position, I assume it must have something to do with avg velocity or avg acceleration... nonetheless I am stuck on part b and have been for quite some time.
