Answer:
145060km
Explanation: Given that
speed = dx/dt = 2t^2 +1
integrate
x = 2/3t^3 + t + c (c is constant, x is in km, t is in second)
given that at t=0, x = 1000
so 1000 = 2/3 X (0)^3 + 0 + c
or c = 1000
So x = 2/3t^3 + t + 1000
for t = 1 min = 60s
x = 2/3 X 60^3 + 60 + 1000
x = 2/3×216000+ 1060
x = 144000+1060
= 145060km
At one minute, it will be 145060km far from the earth
