Example 6
A point is moving along a line in such a way that its velocity is 4-
2t. When t = 0, the position is 0. Find the position at time t, and the
acceleration. ds
----- = v(t) = 4 – 2t a(t) = -2
dt
ds = (4 – 2t) dt
∫ ds = ∫ (4 – 2t) dt
s = 4t – t² + C
0 = 4(0) – (0)² + C 0 = C
s = 4t – t²
Example 7
A formula for acceleration, a, of a point P moving on a line is a= 6t - 6,
where s = 0, v = 2 and t = 0. Find the law of motion.
a(t ) = 6t – 6

∫dv = ∫(6t – 6) dt
∫ds = ∫(3t² + 6t + 2) dt
s(t) = t³ + 3t² + 2t
