Homework Statement
A particle moves in a straight line with the acceleration shown in the figure.
Knowing that it starts from the origin with ##v_0 = -14ft/s##, plot the v-t and
x-t curves for 0 < t < 15 s and determine (a) the maximum value of the velocity
of the particle, (b) the maximum value of its position coordinate.
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
I have a question. To find the change in x from 2s to 5s do I split the time from 2s to 3s and from 3s to 5s in order to find the individual areas of the two triangles (see v-t graph) and add them up?
