Chapter 7, Problem 42

(choose chapter or problem)

A graph of the acceleration a versus time t for an object moving on a straight line is shown in the accompanying figure. Estimate the accelerations at \(t=0,1,2, \ldots, 8\) seconds (s) from the graph and use Simpson's rule to approximate the change in velocity from \(t=0\) to \(t=8 s\). Round your answer to the nearest tenth cm/s. [Hint: Change in velocity = \(\int_{0}^{8} a(t) d t\).]
