Question

The velocity of a particle moving along the x-axis is v(T) = t^2 -2t, with T measure in minute and v(t) measured in feet per minute. To the nearest foot find the total distance travelled by the particle from t = 0 to t = 3 minutes.

Answer 1

Given:

a.) The velocity of a particle moving along the x-axis is v(T) = t^2 -2t.

b.) Find the total distance traveled by the particle from t = 0 to t = 3 minutes.

We get,
