Homework Statement
At time t = 0 a drag racer starts from rest at the origin and moves along a straight line with velocity given by v = 5t^2, where v is in m/s and t in s. The expression for the displacement of the car from t = 0 to time t is
(a) 5t^3
(b) 5t^3/3
(c) 10t
(d) 15t^2
(e) 5t/2
Homework Equations
(Vfinal-Vinitial/2)t=X
Vfinal=5t^2
The Attempt at a Solution
The manual says B
But I keep Getting 5t^3/2
Vfinal=5t^2
Vinitial=0
so
(5t^2/2)t=x
5t^3/2
