Particle acceleration and velocity Problem

Click For Summary
The discussion focuses on solving a particle acceleration problem where acceleration is defined as a=4s^2 m/s^2. Participants are trying to determine the particle's velocity as a function of position, starting from given conditions of velocity and position. There is confusion around the integration process and the correct limits of integration, with suggestions to review fundamental concepts of dynamics. The key approach involves setting up the relationship between acceleration, velocity, and position, and integrating accordingly. The conversation emphasizes careful reading of the problem and proper setup for integration to avoid mistakes.

What do you mean "plug in"?

With these problems, you have to read them very carefully, or you will make mistakes. (Like I did when I misread it twice).

A particle is moving along a straight line such that its acceleration is defined as a=(4s^2)m/s^2, where s is in meters. If v=-100m/s when s=10m and t=0, determine the particles velocity as a function of position.

how can i determine that :)

Integrate that function I gave you.

alright, i'll do that
