Question:

For an object experiencing constant acceleration, the expression for position as a function of time is \(x(t)=x_{\mathrm{i}}+v_{x, \mathrm{i}} t+\frac{1}{2} a_{x} t^{2}\). Explain, in terms of the area under the \(v(t)\) curve for the object, why the acceleration term includes the factor \(\frac{1}{2}\).
