Question

The acceleration, a ms-2 , of a particle moving in a horizontal line at time t seconds, t ≥ 0 , is given by a = – (1+v) where v ms-1 is the particle’s velocity and v > -1.
At t = 0 , the particle is at a fixed origin O and has initial velocity v0 ms-1 .

(a) By solving an appropriate differential equation, show that the particle’s velocity at time t is given by v ( t ) = (1 + v0) e-t – 1 . [6]

(b) Initially at O, the particle moves in the positive direction until it reaches its maximum displacement from O. The particle then returns to O.

Let s metres represent the particle’s displacement from O and smax its maximum displacement from O.
(i) Show that the time T taken for the particle to reach smax satisfies the equation eT = 1 + v0 .
(ii) By solving an appropriate differential equation and using the result from part (b) (i), find an expression for smax in terms of v0 . [7]

Let v (T – k) represent the particle’s velocity k seconds before it reaches smax , where v (T – k) = (1 + v0) e-(T – k) – 1 .

(c) By using the result to part (b) (i), show that v (T – k) = ek – 1 . [2]

Similarly, let v (T + k) represent the particle’s velocity k seconds after it reaches smax .

(d) Deduce a similar expression for v (T + k) in terms of k . [2]

(e) Hence, show that v (T – k) + v (T + k) ≥ 0 . [3]

▶️Answer/Explanation

Ans:

(a) Since $a=\frac{\text{d}v}{\text{d}t}$, and $a=-\left(1+v\right)$, we have
$$\begin{eqnarray}
\frac{\text{d}v}{\text{d}t} = -1-v \nonumber \\
\frac{\text{d}v}{\text{d}t}+v = -1.
\end{eqnarray}$$
Let $\text{I}\left(x\right)=\text{e}^{\int 1 \text{d}t}=\text{e}^t$.<br>
Then, we have
$$\begin{eqnarray}
\frac{\text{d}}{\text{d}t}\left(v\text{e}^t\right) = -\text{e}^t \nonumber \\
v\text{e}^t = -\int\text{e}^t \text{d}t \nonumber \\
v\text{e}^t = -\text{e}^t+c \nonumber \\
v = c\text{e}^{-t}-1.
\end{eqnarray}$$
Since $v=v_0$ when $t=0$, we have $c=1+v_0$, i.e., $v=\left(1+v_0\right)\text{e}^{-t}-1$.<br>
(b)(i) At $s_{\text{max}}$, $t=T$, i.e., we have
$$\begin{eqnarray}
v\left(T\right) = 0 \nonumber \\
\left(1+v_0\right)\text{e}^{-T}-1 = 0 \nonumber \\
\left(1+v_0\right)\text{e}^{-T} = 1 \nonumber \\
1+v_0 = \text{e}^T.
\end{eqnarray}$$
(b)(ii) Since $\frac{\text{d}s}{\text{d}t}=\left(1+v_0\right)\text{e}^{-t}-1$, integrating both sides with respect to $t$, we have
$$\begin{eqnarray}
s &=& \int\left(1+v_0\right)\text{e}^{-t}-1\text{d}t \nonumber \\
&=& -\left(1+v_0\right)\text{e}^{-t}-t+c.
\end{eqnarray}$$
When $t=0$, $s=0$, i.e.,
$$\begin{eqnarray}
0 = -\left(1+v_0\right)+c \nonumber \\
c = \left(1+v_0\right).
\end{eqnarray}$$
Thus, $s=\left(1+v_0\right)-\left(1+v_0\right)\text{e}^{-t}-t$.<br>
Since from (b)(i) we have $1+v_0=\text{e}^T$, $T=\ln\left(1+v_0\right)$, i.e., $s_{\text{max}}=v_0-\ln \left(1+v_0\right)$.<br>
(c) Since $\text{e}^T=1+v_0$, we have $\left(1+v_0\right)\text{e}^{-T}=1$, i.e.,
$$\begin{eqnarray}
v\left(T-k\right) &=& \left(1+v_0\right)\text{e}^{-\left(T-k\right)}-1 \nonumber \\
&=& \left(1+v_0\right)\text{e}^{-T}\text{e}^k-1 \nonumber \\
&=& \text{e}^k-1.
\end{eqnarray}$$
(d) Similarly, as in (c),
$$\begin{eqnarray}
v\left(T+k\right) &=& \left(1+v_0\right)\text{e}^{-\left(T+k\right)}-1 \nonumber \\
&=& \left(1+v_0\right)\text{e}^{-T}\text{e}^{-k}-1 \nonumber \\
&=& \text{e}^{-k}-1.
\end{eqnarray}$$
(e)
$$\begin{eqnarray}
v\left(T-k\right)+v\left(T+k\right) &=& \text{e}^k-1+\text{e}^{-k}-1 \nonumber \\
&=& \text{e}^k+\text{e}^{-k}-2 \nonumber \\
&=& \frac{\text{e}^{2k}-2\text{e}^k+1}{\text{e}^k} \nonumber \\
&=& \frac{\left(\text{e}^k-1\right)^2}{\text{e}^k} \geq 0.
\end{eqnarray}$$

Ans
\(f(x)=-2e^{-x}-2\textup{cos}5x+x+c\)

▶️Answer/Explanation

\(\int \left (\sqrt{1-4x^{2}} \right )\textup{d}x\)
\(\textup{Let}\, 2x=\textup{sin}\theta \Rightarrow 2\frac{\textup{d}x}{\textup{d}\theta }=\textup{cos}\, \theta \Rightarrow \textup{d}x=\frac{1}{2}\textup{cos}\, \theta \, \textup{d}\, \theta\)
