The velocity of a car over five hours is given by v(t)=60ln(t+1),0≤t≤5 in kilometers per hour. What is the total distance traveled from t=0 to t=5? Round your answer to the nearest whole number and do not include units.


Sagot :

Step-by-step explanation:

as the velocity is not constant over time, we actually have to integrate v(t) over the interval 0<=t<=5 to get the distance.

v(t) = 60×ln(t + 1)

V(t) = 60 × integral(ln(t + 1)) between 0 and 5.

integral(ln(t + 1)) = (t + 1)ln(t + 1) - t + C

V(t) = 60 × ((t + 1)ln(t + 1) - t + C)

the distance traveled between t = 0 and t = 5 is then

60 × ((5 + 1)ln(5 + 1) - 5 + C) - 60 × ((0 + 1)ln(0 + 1) - 0 + C) =

= 60×(6ln(6) - 5 + C) - 60×(1ln(1) + C) =

= 60×(5.750556815... + C) - 60×C =

= 60×5.750556815... = 345.0334089... ≈ 345 km
