Homework Statement
Given the following graph of displacement vs time for an object moving in a straight line (assume const accel):
Find the acceleration between t=0 and t=4
Homework Equations
A= ((vi-vf)/2)/time
The Attempt at a Solution
I've tried find the area of t=0 to t=4 in order to convert to velocity and then to acceleration. However, the problem is I don't know how to find the area because the graph is curved. I tried getting the area above the line and subtracting it from the total area of t=0 to t=4. This didn't work because I can't find the area of the hypothetical circle of which the area above the line would be a fraction of. Thanks
P.S. I know there are other questions that ask the same thing but they are either irrelevant to my particular question or went unanswered[/B]
