Apply differentiation and integration to kinematics problems that involve displacement, velocity and acceleration of a particle moving in a straight line with variable or constant acceleration
What this topic asks you to be able to do
- Use differentiation and integration to solve kinematics questions concerning the displacement, velocity and acceleration of a particle travelling along a straight line, where the acceleration is either variable or constant. For instance, suppose a particle has velocity v = 3t² – 30t + 72; work out its acceleration when t = 2.
