Given that acceleration a = t 2 m/s 2 , then velocity
v ( t ) v ( 0 ) ⟹ v ( t ) = ∫ a ( t ) d t = ∫ t 2 d t = 3 t 3 + C 1 = C 1 = 1 0 = 3 t 3 + 1 0 where C 1 is the constant of integration.
And displacement
x ( t ) x ( 0 ) ⟹ x ( t ) x ( 1 0 ) = ∫ v ( t ) d t = ∫ ( 3 t 3 + 1 0 ) d t = 1 2 t 4 + 1 0 t + C 2 = C 2 = 1 = 1 2 t 4 + 1 0 t + 1 = 1 2 1 0 0 0 0 + 1 0 0 + 1 ≈ 9 3 4 . 3
