How do I interpret the integral of the path velocity?

306 Views Asked by At

Assume I have a path or trajectory over time

$$ \boldsymbol{s}(t) = [x_1(t), \dots, x_m(t)] $$

The velocity is

$$ \boldsymbol{v} = \frac{ds}{dt}\boldsymbol{e}_t = v \boldsymbol{e}_t$$ where $\boldsymbol{e}_t$ is a unit vector in the tangent direction. The magnitude of the velocity is

$$ v = \sqrt{\sum_{i = 1}^{m}{\left(\frac{dx_i}{dt}\right)^2}} $$

What is the interpretation or physical significance of the integral:

$$ \int{v dt} $$

If you integrate velocity as a function of time: $$ \int{v(t) dt} $$ you are left with your total distance traveled. Because velocity is your change in position as a function of time, integrating velocity as a function of time simply returns your total distance traveled. Similarly, the displacement can be found by evaluating $$ \int{|v(t)| dt} $$

As a general rule, if f(t) represents a change in something, then $\int_a^b{f(t) dt}$ will compute the total change from $t = a$ to $t = b$
