Variable Acceleration Integration Problems | Year 1 Mech | A Level Maths

Going the other way — from acceleration to velocity to displacement — requires integration. In this lesson you will learn how to use r = integral of v dt and v = integral of a dt to recover velocity and displacement when an acceleration function is given, apply initial conditions to find the constants of integration, and interpret the results in context. The lesson links directly to the calculus of pure maths.
