Newton's law question involving force and acceleration

In summary, the problem involves a body of mass 1 kg moving with an initial speed of v0. The force acting on the body is given by the equation F = b + ct^2, where b and c are constants. The goal is to find an expression for the velocity v of the body as a function of time t. To solve this, we can use Newton's second law F = ma and set it equal to the given force equation. After solving for v, we get V=V0+ bt +(ct^3)/3.

Homework Statement
A body of mass m = 1 kg moves along a straight line with speed v0, when it is
the action of a force in the same direction of motion. The magnitude of this force is given in terms of
of time t in seconds by the following expression:
F = b + ct^2

where b and which are constants with appropriate relationships for the term-owning unit of
force in newtons. Find an expression for the velocity v of the body as a function of time t.
Relevant Equations
F = b + ct^2
I have no idea what to do but the answer is V=V0+ bt +(ct^3)/3

Hi Arsene11 and welcome to PF.

:welcome:
According to our forum rules you need to show some effort before receiving help. "I have no idea" is not enough of an effort.

"Relevant equations" are standard equations that are likely to have some bearing on the problem, not arbitrary equations specific to the problem.
In this problem you have mass, force, time and velocity mentioned. What standard mechanics equations relate some of those?

What is Newton’s 2nd law?

Isn’t it

##F = m \frac{dv}{dt}##

Don’t you have a given expression for ##F##?

Set them equal and solve for ##v##

@Arsene11 -- as you have been told, you must show your work before we can be of tutorial help. Please start a new thread and show your best efforts to start working on this problem. Thank you.
