Acceleration is the derivative of velocity, so we integrate a(t) to get v(t):
v(t)=∫a(t)dt=∫sin(t)dt=−cos(t)+C
Now, we are given that the velocity at t=0 is 10 km/hr. We can use this information to find the constant C:
v(0)=−cos(0)+C=−1+C=10
Solving for C, we get C=11.
Now, we have the velocity function:
v(t)=−cos(t)+11
Finally, we integrate v(t) to get the displacement function s(t):
s(t)=∫v(t)dt=∫(−cos(t)+11)dt
s(t)=−sin(t)+11t+D
Now, we need to find the constant D. We are given that the car moves from t=0 to t=π/2, and we know that s(0)=0 (starting position). Plugging in these values, we can solve for D:
s(0)=−sin(0)+11(0)+D=0
D=0
So, the displacement function is:
s(t)=−sin(t)+11t
Now, to find the distance traveled, we evaluate s(t) over the given time interval:
Distance=s(π/2)−s(0)
Distance=(−sin(π/2)+11(π/2))−(−sin(0)+11(0))
Distance=−1+11π/2 = 16.27887 kilometers
Therefore, the distance traveled by the car from t=0 to t=π/2 is 16.27887 kilometers.
