Problem

A particle moves along a line with velocity (in meters per second) v(t)={4,0≤t≤2−2,2<t≤5v(t)=\begin{cases} 4, & 0\le t\le 2\\ -2, & 2< t\le 5 \end{cases} for time tt in seconds. Determine both the net displacement and the total distance the particle travels on the interval 0≤t≤50\le t\le 5.
