    The position of a body moving along the x-axis is given by the equation x=(tsq.-4t+6)m. To calculate the distance travelled from t=0 to t=3 seconds: the velocity equation is derived from the position equation as v=2t-4; the body changes direction at t=2 seconds; from t=0 to t=2 the displacement is x=6 to x=2 which is 4m; from t=2 to t=3 the displacement is x=2 to x=3 which is 1m; therefore, the total net distance travelled from t=0 to t=3 is the sum of the two displacements, which is 4+1=

    Question: The position of a body moving along x-axis at time t is given by x=(tsq.-4t+6)m.

    The
    distance travelled by body in time interval t=0 to t=3s is?
    Date:
    Answer:

    v = 2t 4
    Velocity is zero at t = 2 seconds
    So after that the body changes direction on from t = 0 to t = 2 seconds displacement is
    x = 6 to x = 2
    Displacement is
    x = 65 to x = 2
    Displacement = 6 2 = 4
    From t = 2 to t = 3
    x = 2 to x = 3
    Displacement = 3 2 = 1

    Net distance = 4 + 1 = 5 m
