Answer Each Question Appropriately $s$ -Axis Is $\frac { \mathrm { ds } } { \mathrm { dt } } = 9.8 \mathrm { t } - 10$

question 157

Multiple Choice

Answer each question appropriately.
-Suppose the velocity of a body moving along the $s$ -axis is $\frac { \mathrm { ds } } { \mathrm { dt } } = 9.8 \mathrm { t } - 10$ .
Is it necessary to know the initial position of the body to find the body's displacement over some time interval? Justify your answer.

• A) No, the initial position is necessary to find the curve s= f(t) but not necessary to find the displacement. The initial position determines the integration constant. When finding the
• Displacement the integration constant is subtracted out.
• B) No, displacement has nothing to do with the position of the body.
• C) Yes, knowing the initial position is the only way to find the exact positions at the beginning and end of the time interval. Those positions are needed to find the displacement.
• D) Yes, integration is not possible without knowing the initial position.
