\n" ); document.write( "The acceleration for a particle moving along the x-axis is a(t) = $\"4e%5E%284t%29\"$ . The velocity when t = 0 is 5, and the position of the particle when t = 0 is 2. Develop the velocity function and the position function of the particle. Find the total distance the particle travels during the time interval[0,5]. \n" ); document.write( "

d^2s/dt^2=4e^4t
\n" ); document.write( "ds/dt=e^4t+C1; t=0, ds/dt=5, or C1=4, since e^0=1;
\n" ); document.write( "v=ds/dt=e^4t+4
\n" ); document.write( "therefore,
\n" ); document.write( "s=(1/4)e^4t+4t+C; if t=0, s=2; 2=(1/4)+C, and C=7/4
\n" ); document.write( "s=(1/4e^(4t)+4t+7/4
\n" ); document.write( "===============================\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "when t=5, position is (1/4)e^20+20+(7/4), and the distance is 121,291,318.6, subtracting the 2 at the end for the initial position.
