To calculate: the total distance travelled by the particle between
Answer to Problem 13E
The particle’s total distance travelled between
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The figure shows the graph of velocity
Initial position of the particle at
Calculation:
From the graph it is clear that it shows the characteristic of velocity with respect to time. And area under velocity time curve represents the distance.
As distance travelled is a scalar quantity, it is the summation of all area enclosed by the curve whether velocity is positive or negative.
Therefore,
The total distance travelled is
