Distance and Displacement

4 Activities

The velocity function, in meters per second, of a particle moving along a line is given by
v(t)=t2−2t−8v(t)=t^2-2t-8
For the time interval 1≤t≤61 \leq t \leq 6, find (a) the displacement of the particle and (b) the distance travelled by the particle.

Applications of Integration: Displacement, Velocity, and Acceleration
The acceleration due to gravity of an object is given by a(t)=−9.8a\left(t\right)=-9.8. If the initial velocity and displacement are given by v(0)=5v\left(0\right)=5 and d(0)=2d\left(0\right)=2, find the function that represents the displacement at time t.

The velocity funciton, in meters per second, of a particle moving alone a line is given by
v(t)=t2−2t−8v(t)=t^2-2t-8
For the time interval 1≤t≤61 \leq t \leq 6, find (a) the displacement of the particle and (b) the distance traveled by the particle.
