The correct Answer is:
To find the position of a particle as a function of time when it is moving in a straight line with an acceleration given by \( a = 5x \), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the relationship between acceleration, velocity, and position The acceleration \( a \) can be expressed in terms of velocity \( v \) and position \( x \) as: \[ a = \frac{dv}{dt} \] Using the chain rule, we can rewrite this as: \[ a = v \frac{dv}{dx} \] ### Step 2: Set up the equation Given that \( a = 5x \), we can substitute this into our equation: \[ v \frac{dv}{dx} = 5x \] ### Step 3: Separate variables and integrate We can separate the variables: \[ v \, dv = 5x \, dx \] Now, we integrate both sides: \[ \int v \, dv = \int 5x \, dx \] This gives us: \[ \frac{v^2}{2} = \frac{5x^2}{2} + C \] where \( C \) is the integration constant. ### Step 4: Solve for velocity Multiplying through by 2, we have: \[ v^2 = 5x^2 + 2C \] Taking the square root of both sides, we find: \[ v = \sqrt{5x^2 + 2C} \] ### Step 5: Relate velocity to time Recall that velocity \( v \) is also defined as: \[ v = \frac{dx}{dt} \] Thus, we can write: \[ \frac{dx}{dt} = \sqrt{5x^2 + 2C} \] ### Step 6: Separate variables again We can separate the variables again: \[ \frac{dx}{\sqrt{5x^2 + 2C}} = dt \] ### Step 7: Integrate to find position as a function of time Now we need to integrate both sides. This integral can be complex, but we can denote it as: \[ \int \frac{dx}{\sqrt{5x^2 + 2C}} = \int dt \] Let \( C_2 \) be the constant of integration for the time side. ### Step 8: Apply initial conditions At \( t = 0 \), \( x = 0 \). We can use this to find the constant \( C \) and \( C_2 \). However, we have two constants and only one initial condition, which means we cannot uniquely determine the function without additional information. ### Conclusion Thus, the position of the particle as a function of time cannot be uniquely determined with the given information. ---
