Hello Forum,
usually the acceleration a is a function of time: a(t)= d v(t) /dt
to find v(t) se simply integrate v(t)= integral a(t) dt
What if the acceleration was a function of space, i.e. a(x)?
what would we get by doing integral a(x) dx? The velocity as a function of space, v(x)?
but a(x) is not defined to be v(x)/dx or is it? maybe some chain rule is involved..
thanks,
