Question:

In Figure 2.10b, the area under the velocity versus time curve and between the vertical axis and time t (vertical dashed line) represents the displacement. As shown, this area consists of a rectangle and a triangle. Compute their areas and compare the sum of the two areas with the expression on the right-hand side of Equation 2.12.
