A particle moves along a line At time t in seconds the particle s velocity is v t t 6t 8 in m s Find the particle s net displacement and total distance traveled over the time interval 0 5 Net displacement Total distance traveled m m To understand the terms net displacement and total distance travelled imagine a particle that moves from z 0 to z 2 then back to z 1 Its net displacement is 1 since it started at position 0 and ended at position 1 Its total distance travelled is 3 since it moved 3 units all together
