Answer:
8 units
Step-by-step explanation:
Displacement is the area under the velocity curve. The area of interest is in the shape of a trapezoid, so we can use the formula ...
A = (1/2)(b1 +b2)h
to find the area.
Here, b1=3, b2=1, h=4, so the area is ...
A = (1/2)(3 +1)(4) = 8
The displacement is 8 units in the time from t=1 to t=4.
