Particle Velocity from a Position-Dependent Acceleration

Calculus · Calculus — University

Question

The acceleration of a particle traveling along a straight line is $a = \dfrac{1}{4}\,s^{1/2}$ m/s², where $s$ is in meters. If $v = 0$ and $s = 1$ m when $t = 0$, determine the particle's velocity at $s = 2$ m.
