Final answer:

The distance traveled during the given time interval is 13.67 m.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the distance traveled during the given time interval, we can integrate the velocity function over that interval. The velocity function is given by v(t) = t^2/2t - 3. Integrating this function over the interval [0, 4] gives:

∫[0, 4] t^2/2t - 3 dt = [t^3/6 - 3t] evaluated from 0 to 4 = (4^3/6 - 3(4)) - (0^3/6 - 3(0)) = (64/6 - 12) - (0 - 0) = 77/3 - 12 = 41/3 = 13.67 m

So, the distance traveled during the given time interval is 13.67 m.
