The velocity of the particle as a function of time

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on solving for the velocity of a particle given its acceleration function a(t) = bt y + c e^(kt) z. A user expresses confusion about the correct form of the velocity equation, questioning whether it should be (c/k) * exp(kt) without the exponent notation. They seek clarification on their approach and whether their interpretation of the problem is incorrect. The conversation highlights the need for understanding the integration of acceleration to find velocity and the importance of correctly applying mathematical notation. The thread emphasizes the complexities involved in solving motion equations in physics.

Homework Statement
The acceleration of the particle is given by a(t)=bt y + c e kt z.
It is known that at t=0 the velocity of the particle is by v(0)= d x + c/k z and its position is r(0)= c/k2 z.
b, c, d and k are constants.
Relevant Equations
v\left(t\right)=\int \:a\left(t\right)dt

Isn't the problem that it should be
Code:
(c/k)*exp(k*t)
(without the ^)?

Is it telling you it is wrong or is that just what you think?
 
Thread 'Variable mass system : water sprayed into a moving container'
Starting with the mass considerations #m(t)# is mass of water #M_{c}# mass of container and #M(t)# mass of total system $$M(t) = M_{C} + m(t)$$ $$\Rightarrow \frac{dM(t)}{dt} = \frac{dm(t)}{dt}$$ $$P_i = Mv + u \, dm$$ $$P_f = (M + dm)(v + dv)$$ $$\Delta P = M \, dv + (v - u) \, dm$$ $$F = \frac{dP}{dt} = M \frac{dv}{dt} + (v - u) \frac{dm}{dt}$$ $$F = u \frac{dm}{dt} = \rho A u^2$$ from conservation of momentum , the cannon recoils with the same force which it applies. $$\quad \frac{dm}{dt}...
I was thinking using 2 purple mattress samples, and taping them together, I do want other ideas though, the main guidelines are; Must have a volume LESS than 1600 cubic centimeters, and CAN'T exceed 25 cm in ANY direction. Must be LESS than 1 kg. NO parachutes. NO glue or Tape can touch the egg. MUST be able to take egg out in less than 1 minute. Grade A large eggs will be used.
