    Calculating distance from acceleration as function of speed

    Ah, yes sorry I did not know. I kept getting stuck because I tried moving over the velocity to the left side of the equation, and since a=dv/dt I could move over dt and integrate both sides, however I did not find a way to isolate v on the left side of the equation. The link you sent me made...

    Calculating distance from acceleration as function of speed

    I'm trying to calculate the displacement d of a plane as it accelerates towards lift-off velocity. The acceleration is given by the function a = a0 - kv2 where a0 is the constant acceleration from the plane's engine and the term -kv2 is caused by air resistance. I can't seem to find a way to...
