### Object's Velocity Vs. Time

An object moves with the velocity shown on the graph. What is the displacement of the object during the first 3.00 s?

#### Graph Explanation

The graph presented here shows the velocity (\(v\)) of an object over time (\(t\)). The vertical axis represents the velocity in meters per second (m/s), and the horizontal axis represents time in seconds (s). The graph details the velocity of the object from \(t = 0\) to \(t = 5\) seconds.

1. From \(t = 0\) to \(t = 1\) second, the velocity increases linearly from 0 m/s to 2 m/s.
2. From \(t = 1\) to \(t = 3\) seconds, the velocity decreases linearly from 2 m/s to -1 m/s.
3. From \(t = 3\) to \(t = 5\) seconds, the velocity remains constant at -1 m/s.

2. **What is the displacement of the object during the first 5 s?**
   - [Input Box] (Submit Answer Tries 0/2)

To calculate the displacement, you need to find the area under the velocity-time graph for the respective time intervals. The areas represent the displacement during those intervals.

- First segment (0 to 1 second): Area of the triangle = \(\frac{1}{2} \times base \times height = \frac{1}{2} \times 1 \times 2 = 1 \, \text{m}\)
- Second segment (1 to 3 seconds): Area of the trapezoid can be split into that of the rectangle (1 second to 2 seconds, 2 meters) and the triangle (2 seconds to 3 seconds)
 - Area of the rectangle = \( base \times height =  1 \times 2 = 2 \, \text{m}\)
 - Area of the triangle = \( \frac{1}{2} \times base \times height = \frac{1}{2} \times 1 \times 2 \, \text{m = 1} \)
