Q. A particle moves along the x-axis such that at any time t≥0 its position is x(t), its velocity is v(t), and its acceleration is a(t). You are given:x(0)=5 and v(0)=6Which of the following expressions gives the displacement of the particle over the interval 0≤t≤7 ?∫07∣v(t)∣dt∫07x(t)dt∫07v(t)dt∫07∣x(t)∣dt
Define Displacement Integration: To find the displacement of the particle over a given time interval, we need to integrate the velocity function over that interval. Displacement is the integral of velocity with respect to time, represented as ∫v(t)dt.
Eliminate Irrelevant Options: The given options are:1. ∫07∣v(t)∣dt2. ∫07x(t)dt3. ∫07v(t)dt4. ∫07∣x(t)∣dtWe can eliminate options 1 and 4 because the absolute value of velocity or position is not relevant to displacement; it would be relevant to distance traveled, which is not what is being asked.
Identify Correct Expression: Option 2, ∫07x(t)dt, is also incorrect because integrating the position function over time does not give displacement. It would give the accumulated position, which is not a standard concept in kinematics.
Identify Correct Expression: Option 2, ∫07x(t)dt, is also incorrect because integrating the position function over time does not give displacement. It would give the accumulated position, which is not a standard concept in kinematics.Option 3, ∫07v(t)dt, is the correct expression for displacement. It integrates the velocity function over the time interval from 0 to 7, which gives the total change in position, or displacement, over that interval.
