AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on calculating the velocity and position of a body moving along the x-axis at a specific moment in time. Given parameters include an initial speed of 3 m/s, initial position of 2 m, and constants k and b for acceleration. Participants express confusion over the integration process used to derive speed and position, with one user reporting results of 240 for speed and 1200 for position, which are questioned for accuracy. Clarifications are sought regarding the relevant physics equations and their application to the problem. The conversation emphasizes the importance of correctly applying integral limits and understanding the variables involved in the calculations.

Homework Statement


A body moves in a straight line along the x-axis. Its expansion as a function of time is:

Given that at the moment t = 0 its speed was v0 in the positive direction of the x axis, and its position was at x0.

1. the body velocity in meters per second has a given moment t0?

2. What is a body position on the x-axis in meters include a given moment (t=t0)?

Homework Equations


k = 24 m sec-3
b = 12 m sec-2
v0 = 3 m sec-1
x0 = 2 m
t0 = 5 sec

Can you show the details of how you did the integrals?

The "relevant equations" are supposed to be general physics equations that you feel may apply to the problem, not facts specific to the question.
An example here might be ##\Delta v=\int _{t_i}^{t_f}\ddot x.dt##. In that equation, what does Δv represent?

Not exact enough. What is the Δ there for?

Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'
In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...
