EXAMPLE6 A particle moves along a line so that its velocity at time t is v(t) = t-t- 20 (measured in meters per second). (a) Find the displacement of the particle during 2 sts 8. (b) Find the distance traveled during this time period. SOLUTION (a) By this equation, the displacement is 8. s(8) – s(2) = v(t) dt (t2 - t- 20) dt %3D t2 20t 2 This means that the particle moved approximately 18.00 meters to the right. (b) Note that v(t) = t - t - 20 = (t – 5)(t + 4) and so v(t)? 0 on the interval [2, 5] and v(t) ? o on [5, 8].

EXAMPLE 6
A particle moves along a line so that its velocity at time t is v(t) =t-t- 20 (measured in
meters per second).
(a) Find the displacement of the particle during 2 sts 8.
(b) Find the distance traveled during this time period.
SOLUTION
(a) By this equation, the displacement is
8
s(8) – s(2) =
v(t) dt
| (2 -t- 20) dt

t2
- 20t

This means that the particle moved approximately 18.00 meters to the right.
(b) Note that v(t) = t - t - 20 = (t - 5)(t + 4) and so v(t) ? 0 on the interval [2, 5] and v(t) ? o on
[5, 8]. Thus, from this equation, the distance traveled is
|v(t)| dt =
