Question

Question:
A rocket moves along a straight track starting from rest — that is, v equals 0 at s equals 0. Its acceleration as a function of position is given in two pieces: a equals 5 feet per second squared for s between 0 and 100 feet, and a equals 5 plus 6 times the quantity root-s minus 10, raised to the 5-thirds power, in feet per second squared, for s greater than 100 feet. Determine the speed v when s equals 75 feet and when s equals 125 feet. Use Simpson's rule with n equals 100 intervals to evaluate the integral at s equals 125 feet.

Problem 12-46: Engineering Mechanics- Dynamics (Hibbeler 14th Edition)

This lesson applies the kinematic identity a ds = v dv to find the speed of a rocket moving along a straight track, given a piecewise acceleration–position (a–s) function. Exact integration handles the constant-acceleration region, while Simpson's rule with 100 subintervals evalu
