Question
A particle moves along a straight line with the acceleration a = (12t – 3t ^ 1/2) feet / s ^ 2, where t is in seconds. Determine your speed and position as a function of time. When t = 0, v = 0 and s = 15 feet.

Answer:
v = 6t² − 2t^³/₂
s = 2t³ − ⅘t^⁵/₂ + 15
Explanation:
a = 12t − 3t^½
Integrate to find velocity.
v = ∫ a dt
v = ∫ (12t − 3t^½) dt
v = 6t² − 2t^³/₂ + C
Use initial condition to find C.
0 = 6(0)² − 2(0)^³/₂ + C
C = 0
v = 6t² − 2t^³/₂
Integrate to find position.
s = ∫ v dt
s = ∫ (6t² − 2t^³/₂) dt
s = 2t³ − ⅘t^⁵/₂ + C
Use initial condition to find C.
15 = 2(0)³ − ⅘(0)^⁵/₂ + C
15 = C
s = 2t³ − ⅘t^⁵/₂ + 15
