Question

A badger is trying to cross the street. Its velocity vvv as a function of time ttt is given in the graph below where rightwards is the positive velocity direction.
A set of black coordinate axes are given with the vertical axis labeled "v (m/s)" and the horizontal axes labeled "t (s)". A curve that relates v to t is shown in blue. It begins with a straight line of endpoints (0,0) and (1,5). This first line is connected to a second line with endpoints (1,5) and (3,-5). This second line is then connected to a third line of endpoints (3,-5) and (6,-5).

What is the badger's displacement \Delta xΔxdelta, x from t=2\,\text st=2st, equals, 2, start text, s, end text to 3\,\text s3s3, start text, s, end text?

Answer 1

Answer: -2.5

Explanation:

1/2(-5)= -2.5
