1. Integrals:
- \( \int 3x^7 dx = 3 \times \frac{x^{8}}{8} = \frac{3}{8} x^8 + C \)
- \( \int 4\sqrt{x} dx = 4 \int x^{1/2} dx = 4 \times \frac{x^{3/2}}{3/2} = \frac{8}{3} x^{3/2} + C \)
- \( \int \frac{dx}{\sqrt{x}} = \int x^{-1/2} dx = 2 x^{1/2} + C \)
- \( \int (x^3 - 5x^2 + 7x - 11) dx = \frac{x^4}{4} - \frac{5x^3}{3} + \frac{7x^2}{2} - 11x + C \)
- \( \int \left( x^{1/3} - x^{-1/3} \right) dx = \int x^{1/3} dx - \int x^{-1/3} dx = \frac{3}{4} x^{4/3} - \frac{3}{2} x^{2/3} + C \)
- \( \int 3x dx = 3 \times \frac{x^2}{2} = \frac{3}{2} x^2 + C \)
- \( \int 5x^2 dx = 5 \times \frac{x^3}{3} = \frac{5}{3} x^3 + C \)
2. Distance travelled by particle \( x = t^3 - 9t^2 + 15t + 2 \) from \( t=0 \) to \( t=5 \):
- Velocity: \( v = \frac{dx}{dt} = 3t^2 - 18t + 15 \)
- Find times when velocity is zero (turning points): \( 3t^2 - 18t + 15 = 0 \Rightarrow t^2 - 6t + 5 = 0 \Rightarrow (t-5)(t-1) = 0 \Rightarrow t=1,5 \)
- Positions at \( t=0,1,5 \): \( x(0) = 2 \) \( x(1) = 1 - 9 + 15 + 2 = 9 \) \( x(5) = 125 - 225 + 75 + 2 = -23 \)
- Distance travelled = \( |x(1)-x(0)| + |x(5)-x(1)| = |9-2| + |-23-9| = 7 + 32 = 39 \) m
3. Velocity and acceleration of cricket ball:
- Velocity: \( \vec{v} = 2\hat{i} + 6\hat{j} + (20 - 10t) \hat{k} \)
- Acceleration: \( \vec{a} = \frac{d\vec{v}}{dt} = 0\hat{i} + 0\hat{j} - 10 \hat{k} = -10 \hat{k} \)
- Acceleration is perpendicular to velocity when \( \vec{a} \cdot \vec{v} = 0 \): \( \vec{a} \cdot \vec{v} = -10 (20 - 10t) = 0 \Rightarrow 20 - 10t = 0 \Rightarrow t = 2 \) s
4. Particle position \( x = t^3 - 3t^2 + 3t + 3 \):
- Velocity: \( v = \frac{dx}{dt} = 3t^2 - 6t + 3 = 3(t^2 - 2t + 1) = 3(t-1)^2 \)
- Velocity zero at \( t=1 \) s.
- Since velocity is \( 3(t-1)^2 \), it is always \( \geq 0 \) and does not change sign, so particle stops at \( t=1 \) but does not reverse direction.
5. Ball thrown vertically upwards, heights at A and B are \( \frac{1}{4} \) and \( \frac{3}{4} \) of max height, total time of flight \( T \). Find max time from A to B.
Using kinematics, the time to reach height \( h \) is \( t = \frac{T}{2} (1 \pm \sqrt{1 - \frac{h}{H}}) \). For heights \( \frac{1}{4}H \) and \( \frac{3}{4}H \), the time difference between these points is maximum when going up or down. The maximum time between A and B is:
\[ t_{AB} = \frac{(\sqrt{3} + 1)}{4} T \]
6. Particle with initial velocity \( u \) and acceleration \( a = kt \):
- Acceleration: \( a = \frac{dv}{dt} = kt \)
- Velocity: \( v = u + \int_0^t kt' dt' = u + \frac{kt^2}{2} \)
- Distance: \( s = \int_0^t v dt = \int_0^t \left(u + \frac{kt'^2}{2} \right) dt' = ut + \frac{k t^3}{6} \)
7. Motor boat with mass \( m \), initial velocity \( V_0 \), resistance force \( F = -rV \):
- Equation: \( m \frac{dV}{dt} = -rV \)
- Rewrite as \( m V \frac{dV}{dx} = -rV \Rightarrow m \frac{dV}{dx} = -r \)
- Separate variables: \( m dV = -r dx \Rightarrow dx = -\frac{m}{r} dV \)
- Total distance till stop (from \( V_0 \) to 0): \( s = \int_0^{s} dx = -\frac{m}{r} \int_{V_0}^0 dV = \frac{m V_0}{r} \)
