Question Number 126092 by physicstutes last updated on 17/Dec/20

A particle starts from rest at time t = 0 and moves in   a straightline with variable acceleration a m/s^2  where    a = (t/5) , 0 ≤ t ≤ 5 , a = (t/5) + ((10)/t^2 ) , t ≥ 5, t being measured in seconds.  Show that the velocity is 22(1/2) m/s when t = 5 and  11 m/s when t = 10.  Show also that the distance travelled by the particle  in the first 10 seconds is  (43(1/3)−10 ln 2) m.

v=∫_0 ^(  t) (t/5)dt   ;    0≤t≤5    = (5/2)+∫_5 ^( t) ((t/5)+((10)/t^2 ))dt   ;  t>5    =(5/2)+((t^2 /(10))−((10)/t))−((5/2)−2)   ⇒  At t=5,  v=2(1/2)m/s = (5/2)m/s,  and  at  t=10,   v= 11m/s.  Distance s until t=10  is s_1 +s_2  , ∀  s_1 =∫_0 ^(  5)  ((t^2 /(10)))dt=((125)/(30))=((25)/6)    s_2 =∫_5 ^( 10) ((t^2 /(10))−((10)/t)+2)dt         =((t^3 /(30))−10ln t+2t)∣_5 ^(10)          =(((100)/3)−((25)/6)−10ln 2+10)  s_1 +s_2 = 43(1/3)−10ln 2 .  (Indeed!)

x^. =∫x^(..) dt = ∫_0 ^5 (t/5)dt= ((25)/(10)).(m/s)=2.5(m/s)  After 10 seconds   x^. =2.5+∫_5 ^(10) (t/5)+((10)/t^2 )dt=7.5+1 +2.5 (m/s) =11(m/s)

$$\overset{.} {{x}}=\int\overset{..} {{x}dt}\:=\:\int_{\mathrm{0}} ^{\mathrm{5}} \frac{{t}}{\mathrm{5}}{dt}=\:\frac{\mathrm{25}}{\mathrm{10}}.\frac{{m}}{{s}}=\mathrm{2}.\mathrm{5}\frac{{m}}{{s}} \\ $$$${After}\:\mathrm{10}\:{seconds}\: \\ $$$$\overset{.} {{x}}=\mathrm{2}.\mathrm{5}+\int_{\mathrm{5}} ^{\mathrm{10}} \frac{{t}}{\mathrm{5}}+\frac{\mathrm{10}}{{t}^{\mathrm{2}} }{dt}=\mathrm{7}.\mathrm{5}+\mathrm{1}\:+\mathrm{2}.\mathrm{5}\:\frac{{m}}{{s}}\:=\mathrm{11}\frac{{m}}{{s}} \\ $$
