Understand that displacement over an interval is the net change in position, which can be found by calculating the definite integral of the velocity function over that interval.
Identify the given areas under the velocity curve between the time intervals: from 0 to 1 (area = 20, below the t-axis), from 2 to 4 (area = 14, above the t-axis), from 5 to 6 (area = 10, below the t-axis), and from 6 to 8 (area = 6, above the t-axis).
Note that areas below the t-axis represent negative velocity (movement in the opposite direction), so these areas contribute negatively to the displacement, while areas above the t-axis contribute positively.
Calculate the net displacement by summing the signed areas: subtract the areas below the t-axis from the areas above the t-axis, i.e., displacement = (14 + 6) - (20 + 10).
Express the displacement as the definite integral of velocity from 0 to 8, which corresponds to the sum of these signed areas, representing the net change in position over the interval [0, 8].

Concetti chiave

Ecco i concetti essenziali che devi comprendere per rispondere correttamente alla domanda.

Velocity and Displacement

Velocity is the rate of change of position with respect to time and can be positive or negative depending on direction. Displacement over a time interval is the net change in position, calculated as the integral of velocity over that interval. It accounts for direction, so areas above and below the time-axis affect displacement differently.

Using The Velocity Function

Definite Integral and Area Under the Curve

The definite integral of a velocity function over a time interval represents the net area between the velocity curve and the time-axis. Positive areas correspond to motion in the positive direction, while negative areas correspond to motion in the opposite direction. Summing these signed areas gives the displacement.

Definition of the Definite Integral

Interpreting Signed Areas for Displacement

When calculating displacement from a velocity graph, areas above the t-axis are positive contributions, and areas below are negative. To find total displacement, add positive areas and subtract negative areas. This contrasts with total distance, which sums all areas as positive values.
