From the glimpse of it (I did not really solve the question but anyway) when you integrate an equation, you always are left with a constant. In this situation, when you integrate the acceleration, you get an equation where you have three unknowns: v, t and c(the constant of integration)! To find c, you substitute the value of v you found in the part (a) as well as the value of corresponding t which leaves you with just an unknown c. Solve the equation to acquire the value of t. Remember! The constant of integration is only ignored or not considered when we're provided with absolute limits.need help with question 7 ii) october/november 2008 mechanics M1
how come the constant is 5 when we integrated the acceleration ?

Hope this clears up!
