Q5 of 26 Page 13

The displacement of a particle is given by x = (t – 2)2 where x is in metres and t in seconds. The distance covered by the particle in first 4 seconds is

Velocity (v) of the particle is given by derivative of the displacement with respect to time t.




(The modulus operator will account for adding negative displacement to the total distance as well.)
