The acceleration of an object (in m/s2) is given by the function a ( t ) = 5 sin ( t ). The initial velocity of the object is v ( 0 ) = − 9 m/s. Round your answers to four decimal places.
a) Find an equation v(t) for the object velocity.
b) Find the object's displacement (in meters) from time 0 to time 3.
c) Find the total distance traveled by the object from time 0 to time 3.

this distance and NOT receive a ticket?

Shown below is a graph of velocity versus time for a moving object. The object starts at position x = 0 m at t = 0 s. What is the final position in meters, from t = 0 s to t = 2.0 s?
Your answer needs to have 3 significant figures, including the negative sign in your answer if needed. (No unit is needed in your answer, it is already given in the question statement.)
