Deriving velocity as a function if time

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on deriving velocity as a function of time through integration in a mechanics context. The user struggles with eliminating velocity from the numerator to apply relevant equations effectively. Forum members suggest utilizing LaTeX for clearer communication of equations and provide guidance on expressing differentials, specifically d(t^2) in terms of t and dt, to facilitate the integration process.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of calculus, specifically integration techniques.
  • Familiarity with mechanics concepts, particularly motion equations.
  • Proficiency in using LaTeX for mathematical expressions.
  • Knowledge of differentials and their applications in calculus.
NEXT STEPS
  • Research integration techniques in calculus, focusing on variable substitution.
  • Study the application of differentials in mechanics problems.
  • Learn how to effectively use LaTeX for writing mathematical equations.
  • Explore the relationship between velocity, acceleration, and time in physics.
USEFUL FOR

Students studying physics or calculus, educators teaching mechanics, and anyone looking to improve their mathematical communication skills in online forums.

The Attempt at a Solution


I tried to get rid of the velocity in the numerator on the left side to use the relevant equation but to no avail. Any tricks on how i can integrate this? Also, this a small part of a larger mechanics problem.

Thank you[/B]

Unless you tell us exactly how you tried to do that we cannot know where you went wrong. Another general tip is to use the forum LaTeX capability to write equations. It becomes much easier to read your posts and quote appropriate sections.

A tip related to your integral: What is d(t^2) expressed in t and dt?
