Velocity of a particle moving in space is given by v = (-yi + aj + v2k). At initial moment (t = 0) the
particle is at (v2, 0, 0). Find the distance travelled (in m) by the particle in 1s (All quantities are in SI
units).

To solve this problem, we need to integrate the velocity components to find the position and then calculate the total distance traveled in 1 second. Given the velocity components:

\[ v_x = -y, \quad v_y = a, \quad v_z = v_2 \]

At \( t = 0 \), the initial position is \((v_2, 0, 0)\).

1. **Integrate \( v_y \) to find \( y(t) \):**

\[ v_y = a \Rightarrow y(t) = at \]

2. **Integrate \( v_z \) to find \( z(t) \):**

\[ v_z = v_2 \Rightarrow z(t) = v_2 t \]

3. **Substitute \( y(t) \) into \( v_x \):**

\[ v_x = -y = -at \]

4. **Integrate \( v_x \) to find \( x(t) \):**

\[ v_x = -at \Rightarrow x(t) = \int -at \, dt = -\frac{a t^2}{2} + C \]

Using the initial condition \( x(0) = v_2 \):

\[ v_2 = C \Rightarrow x(t) = v_2 - \frac{a t^2}{2} \]

Now, we have the position functions:

\[ x(t) = v_2 - \frac{a t^2}{2}, \quad y(t) = at, \quad z(t) = v_2 t \]

5. **Calculate the distance traveled in 1 second:**

\[ dx = x(1) - x(0) = \left(v_2 - \frac{a (1)^2}{2}\right) - v_2 = -\frac{a}{2} \]
\[ dy = y(1) - y(0) = a \cdot 1 - 0 = a \]
\[ dz = z(1) - z(0) = v_2 \cdot 1 - 0 = v_2 \]

The total distance traveled is:

\[ d = \sqrt{(dx)^2 + (dy)^2 + (dz)^2} = \sqrt{\left(-\frac{a}{2}\right)^2 + a^2 + v_2^2} \]
\[ d = \sqrt{\frac{a^2}{4} + a^2 + v_2^2} \]
\[ d = \sqrt{\frac{5a^2}{4} + v_2^2} \]
\[ d = \sqrt{\frac{5a^2}{4} + v_2^2} \]

So, the distance traveled by the particle in 1 second is:

\[ \sqrt{\frac{5a^2}{4} + v_2^2} \, \text{meters} \]
