A rigid ball traveling in a straight line (the x-axis)

Chapter 2, Problem 2.68

(choose chapter or problem)

A rigid ball traveling in a straight line (the x-axis) hits a solid wall and suddenly rebounds during a brief instant. The graph in Fig. P2.68 shows this balls velocity as a function of time. During the first 20.0 s of its motion, find (a) the total distance the ball moves and (b) its displacement. (c) Sketch a graph of \(a_{x}-t\) for this balls motion. (d) Is the graph shown really vertical at 5.00 s? Explain.
