Question Number 91149 by Rio Michael last updated on 28/Apr/20
A particle starts from rest and moves in a straight line on a smooth   horizontal surface. Its acceleration at time t seconds is given by                                               k(4v + 1) ms^(−2)   where k is a positve constant and v ms^(−1)  is the speed of the particle.  Given that v = ((e^2 −1)/4) when t = 1.  show that                    v = (1/4)(e^(2t) −1)

thank you sir,but i have some doubts,  first sir: at t = 1, (1/4)ln(4v + 1) = kt + C is suppose to equal      (1/4)ln(4v + 1) = k + C  don′t understand why it equals C.  also, (1/4)ln(e^2 ) = k + C  ⇒ (1/4)ln(4v + 1) = k + C  how′d you get  (1/4)[ln(4v + 1)−ln(e^2 )] = kt???

this is my approach sir,ofcourse from your method.   at rest v= 0    a = k(4v + 1) ms^(−2)  , k >0  a = (dv/dt)  ⇒  (dv/dt) = k(4v+1)    (dv/(4v+1)) = kdt ⇒ ∫(dv/(4v+1)) = k∫dt                                   (1/4)ln (4v + 1) = kt + C  at v = 0, t=0  ⇒ (1/4)ln(4(0) + 1) = C  ⇒ C=0  now t = 1 ⇒ v = ((e^2 −1)/4)  so  (1/4)ln[4(((e^2 −1)/4))+1] = k   ⇒k = 2  (1/4)ln(4v + 1) = 2k ⇒ v = (1/4)(e^(8t) −1)
