Concept explainers
a.
To find where the particle is at the end of the trip.
a.
Answer to Problem 18E
The Position of the particle at the end of the trip is 2.
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The particle is moving on x-axis and starts at
Calculation:
As displacement is equals to area under velocity time curve and displacement is a
Therefore,
The Position of the particle at the end of the trip is 2.
b.
To find the total distance travelled at the end of the trip.
b.
Answer to Problem 18E
Total distance travelled at the end of the trip is 4 meter.
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The particle is moving on x-axis and starts at
Calculation:
Total distance(S) travelled is equals to total area under velocity time curve.
Therefore,
Total distance travelled is 4 meter.
