The velocity function (in meters per second) is given for a
particle moving along a line.

v(t) = 3t
-8,    0 ? t ? 5

(a) Find the displacement. -2.5(m)

(b) Find the distance traveled by the particle during the given
time interval. (m)***

Answer

Consider the given velocity function: v(t)-3 -8, 0 <t<5 The objective is to find the displacement. The displacement function75-80 2 -2.5 Thus, the displacement is -2.5 m The objective is to find the distance travelled by the particle during t- 0 toThus, v(f) changes its sign at j if it does Pick any value in the interva0,syt 2 and check the sign of v(t) At t 2, v(t)3(2)-Hence, Distance -Jlv(r)dr 3 (8 0 +8053 64 8 3 +8+25 3)2 15 -8 64 2 9 32 64 3(225-64 32 64 161 56 113 18.33 Thus, the distance travelled is 18.33m
