A particle is moving in a straight line with velocity v(t) = t^2 - t - 6. Find the displacement and the total distance traveled by the particle between time t = 0 and time t = 5.
Added by Valerie A.
Step 1
Step 1: Calculate the velocity at time t = 5: Given velocity function v(t) = t^2 - t - 6, plug in t = 5: v(5) = 5^2 - 5 - 6 v(5) = 25 - 5 - 6 v(5) = 14 m/s Show more…

Suppose that a particle moves along a straight line with velocity defined by v(t) = |t - 6|, where 0 ≤ t ≤ 6 (in meters per second). Find the total distance traveled up to t = 6.
