SOLUTION: A particle's velocity equation is t^3 - 12t^2 + 35 how do we find the total distance travelled by the particle during the first 7 seconds?

Question 1097281: A particle's velocity equation is t^3 - 12t^2 + 35
how do we find the total distance travelled by the particle during the first 7 seconds?

You have to integrate the absolute value of the velocity from time to .
You use the absolute value if you want to get the distance traveled else you will only get the displacement of the particle.
