Understand the problem: Understand the problem.We are given the acceleration function a(t)=0.9tcos(0.2t) and the velocity at t=6 seconds, which is 0.8 m/s. We need to find the change in velocity between t=6 and t=12 seconds.
Identify correct expression: Identify the correct expression to use.To find the change in velocity, we need to integrate the acceleration function over the time interval from t=6 to t=12 seconds. The integral of acceleration with respect to time gives us the change in velocity.
Choose correct answer: Choose the correct answer from the given options.The correct expression to use is the integral of the acceleration function from t=6 to t=12, which is represented by option (A) ∫612a(t)dt.
Calculate change in velocity: Calculate the change in velocity.We need to integrate the acceleration function a(t)=0.9tcos(0.2t) from t=6 to t=12. This will give us the change in velocity over that time period.
Perform the integration: Perform the integration.The actual integration is not provided in the problem, but if we were to carry it out, we would use the integral ∫6120.9tcos(0.2t)dt to find the change in velocity.
Add initial velocity: Add the initial velocity at t=6 to the change in velocity to find the final velocity at t=12. After finding the change in velocity from the integration, we would add it to the initial velocity of 0.8m/s at t=6 to find the final velocity at t=12.
