Firstly, I am sorry if this is the wrong section (I really didn't know what each section meant, but I posted here since I am beginner)

Homework Statement



A stone is thrown up into the air at 20m/s is accelerated constantly downwards by gravity at about 10m/s2

Find the anti derivative of the acceleration

Note: I am not solving for C

Homework Equations


The Attempt at a Solution



The antiderivative of 20m/s is 10m/s2
and the antiderivate of -10m/s is -5m/s2

Neither of those match up to the answer, so I'm not sure how to arrive at the answer.

The answer in the book is v= -10t + c

Thankyou

If you have [itex]a = 10[/itex] then you need to find [itex]\int 10\ dt[/itex]. There's no need to include units in your integral.
 
Ah, thank you very much. Can finally get on with work! =)
