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(1)=8 and v(1)=4Which of the following expression gives the position of the particle when t=8?1+∫88v(t)dt1+∫88v(t)dt8+∫18v(t)dt8+∫81v(t)dt
Given values and functions: We are given that x(1)=8 and v(1)=4. The position at t=8 can be found by adding the integral of the velocity function from t=1 to t=8 to the position at t=1.
Position at t=8: The correct expression for the position of the particle at t=8 is therefore: x(8)=x(1)+∫t=1t=8v(t)dt
Matching expression: Looking at the given options, the expression that matches our derived expression is: 8+∫t=1t=8v(t)dt
Correct option: The other options are incorrect because they either have the wrong limits of integration or the wrong initial value. The correct option is the third one:8+∫t=1t=8v(t)dt
