Question
**Acceleration vs. Position of a Particle**

The question provided is:

*Acceleration vs. position of a particle is as given in the figure. If the velocity \( v = 5 \text{ m/s} \) at \( s = 0 \), what is the velocity at \( s = 100 \text{ m}?*

The diagram shows the acceleration \( a \) of a particle in relation to its position \( s \). 

- The horizontal axis represents position \( s \) in meters.
- The vertical axis represents acceleration \( a \) in meters per second squared \((\text{m/s}^2)\). 

The acceleration starts from 2 \(\text{m/s}^2\) at \( s = 0\) and linearly increases to 4 \(\text{m/s}^2\) at \( s = 100 \text{ m}\).

**Multiple-Choice Options:**

1. 24.49 m/s
2. 15 m/s
3. 10 m/s
4. 25 m/s

**Explanation:**

The graph indicates a linear increase in acceleration from \( 2 \, \text{m/s}^2 \) to \( 4 \, \text{m/s}^2 \) over the distance of \( 100 \, \text{m} \).

To find the velocity at \( s = 100 \, \text{m} \), considering the initial velocity and the integration of acceleration, use the work-energy principle where the change in kinetic energy is equal to the work done by the net force.

The work done by the force is:

\[ W = \int F \, ds = \int ma \, ds \]

Since \( a \) is a function of \( s \):

\[ v_f^2 = v_0^2 + 2 \int a(s) \, ds \]

where \( v_f \) is the final velocity, \( v_0 \) is the initial velocity at \( s = 0 \), and \( a(s) \) is the acceleration as a function of \( s \).

Given the acceleration \( a(s) = 2 + \frac{2}{100}s\):

\[ \int_{0}^{100} a(s) \, ds = \int_{0}^{100} \left( 2 + \frac{2}{100}s
