Anti-differentiation can also be applied to higher derivative. Through successive integration, related physical quantity functions can be determined. In order to determine the integration of constants, extra information, such as initial conditions, or boundary conditions are needed. Linear MotionThe four variables to describe linear motion are acceleration a, velocity v, displacement s, and time t. Imply From the definition of acceleration, uniform acceleration is defined as the average velocity of an object over a period of time. imply From the definition of velocity, uniform velocity is defined as the average displacement of an object over a period of time. imply But for velocity with acceleration or deceleration, variable velocity is also a function of time. imply Example of Linear motionA bullet is fired to a fixed board of thickness 5. The entering speed, vo is 10 and the leaving speed, v is 2. If the deceleration, a of the bullet is a constant, how much time, t is required to pass through the board and what it the thickness of the board required to stop the bullet from coming out. Determine the acceleration first. Since the velocity is decelerating, the velocity is a function of time, the time required is To determine the required thickness of the board to stop the bullet, determine the accelaration first, imply Using the same board to stop the bullet, imply v=0, and accelerarion is the same imply The required thickness is
