Problem

A cart moves along a straight track. Its speed v(t)v(t) in meters per second was measured every 2 seconds, and the results are shown. Time tt (s): 0 2 4 6 8 Speed v(t)v(t) (m/s): 3 4 6 5 4 Assuming the speed varies linearly between measurements, calculate the cart’s approximate displacement, in meters, from t=0t=0 to t=8t=8 seconds.
