The particle travels
Explanation:
Determining distance or displacement from a velocity equation entails integrating
Let us first note that distance traveled, unlike displacement, will not be impacted by the direction of the velocity at various points in time.
That is, we won't have to account for where
Then, we take
The particle travels
