Solving Rectilinear Problems Graphically - Example 2.4-2

 

A particle moves along a straight line. Its velocity profile is given in the graph below.

 

 

What is the distance traveled by the particle travel between 0 and 15 seconds?

 

m    

 

 

What is the average velocity of the particle in the first 10 seconds?

 

m/s     

 

 

What is the particle's acceleration at 5 seconds?

 

m/s2
