Question

Let the instantaneous velocity of a rocket just after launching, be given by the expression v=2t+3t2 (where v is in ms1 and t is in seconds). Find out the distance travelled by the rocket from t=2 s to t=3 s.

Solution

To find the distance travelled, we need to integrate v. [The limits of integration will be from 2 s to 3 s as we have to find the distance travelled between t=2s and t=3s.
x=32vdt=32(2t+3t2)dt=2t23+3t3332
=|t2+t3|32=24 m.
