Integration of motion equation

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on integrating the motion equation X''(t) = F(t) - 1, with initial conditions X'(0) = X(0) = 0. The proposed solution is X(T) = [integral from 0 to T of (T-t)F(t) dt] - [T^2 / 2]. It also explores the relationships between X''(t_0), X'(t_1), and X(t_2) through successive integrations. A request for clarification on the notation used in the equations is made, indicating a need for further explanation. The conversation emphasizes the mathematical process of deriving motion equations in the context of a rocket's force.

Hi , I am trying to integrate this equation :
X"(t) = F(t) - 1 where X'(0) = X(0)= 0
F(t) force of a rocket , 0<t<T

solution they got : X(T) = [integral 0 to T of { (T-t)F(t)d(t) } ] - [square of T ] / 2

If X''(t_0) = F(t_0) - 1, then
X&#039;(t_1) = \int_0^{t_1} X&#039;&#039;(t_0) \, dt_0
and
X(t_2) = \int_0^{t_2} X&#039;(t_1) \, dt_1 = \int_0^{t_2} \int_0^{t_1} X&#039;(t_0) \, dt_0 \, dt_1.
 
thanks for your reply, what you mean by <br /> thanks
 
Hi there, im studying nanoscience at the university in Basel. Today I looked at the topic of intertial and non-inertial reference frames and the existence of fictitious forces. I understand that you call forces real in physics if they appear in interplay. Meaning that a force is real when there is the "actio" partner to the "reactio" partner. If this condition is not satisfied the force is not real. I also understand that if you specifically look at non-inertial reference frames you can...
I have recently been really interested in the derivation of Hamiltons Principle. On my research I found that with the term ##m \cdot \frac{d}{dt} (\frac{dr}{dt} \cdot \delta r) = 0## (1) one may derivate ##\delta \int (T - V) dt = 0## (2). The derivation itself I understood quiet good, but what I don't understand is where the equation (1) came from, because in my research it was just given and not derived from anywhere. Does anybody know where (1) comes from or why from it the...
