Suppose that a particle moves along a straight line with velocity v(t) = 8-3t, where 0 ≤ t ≤ 1 (in meters per second). Find the formula for the displacement of the particle and the total distance it has traveled at time t = 1 seconds. Displacement at time t is: Total distance traveled: Submit Question meters in 1 seconds
Help me find the displacement at time T and the total distance traveled, thank you!
Given: A particle moves along a straight line with velocity where .
To find the formula for the displacement of the particle and the total distance it has travelled at time .
Concepts used:
Given the velocity function the displacement function is given by .
Integration formula: .
where is a constant.
where is the constant of integration.
Distance is the total path covered by an object in motion in any direction. Displacement is the total change in position of an object along with the direction of motion. If the object is moving in a straight line distance and displacement are the same.
