Particle Position @t=0 to t=8 sec: I'm Wrong?

[Bluest731]

The question is how far from its initial position at t=0 will the particle be when t=8 seconds? The graph is linked

Please move this post to the appropriate thread. Sorry

You are looking for a displacement, not a velocity, which is what you answer is.

You have a velocity graph and have to find a displacement from it?

What is the relationship between the change in an objects position, and the geometry of a velocity vs. time graph?
