Question
Displacement from velocity A particle moves along a line with a velocity given by \(v(t)=5 \sin (\pi t)\) starting with an initial position s(0) = 0. Find the displacement of the particle between t = 0 and t = 2, which is given by \(s(t)=\int_{0}^{2} v(t) d t\). Find the distance traveled by the particle during this interval, which is \(\int_{0}^{2}|v(t)| d t\).
Solution
The first step in solving 5 problem number trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: Displacement from velocity A particle moves along a line with a velocity given by \(v(t)=5 \sin (\pi t)\) starting with an initial position s(0) = 0. Find the displacement of the particle between t = 0 and t = 2, which is given by \(s(t)=\int_{0}^{2} v(t) d t\). Find the distance traveled by the particle during this interval, which is \(\int_{0}^{2}|v(t)| d t\).
From the textbook chapter Integration you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
