Find the distance traveled in 25 seconds by an object traveling at a velocity of v(t) = 20 + 5cos(t) feet per second



Answer :

Answer:

  499.338 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

You want to know the distance traveled by an object in 25 seconds when its velocity is described by 20+5cos(t) feet per second.

Distance

The distance an object travels is the integral of its velocity. For the given velocity and time period, the distance is ...

  [tex]\displaystyle d=\int_0^{25}{v(t)}\,dt=\int_0^{25}{(20+5\cos(t))}\,dt=(20t+5\sin(t))|_0^{25}\\\\d=500+5\sin(25)\approx\boxed{499.338\quad\text{feet}}[/tex]
