Question: explain [ A particle in rectilinear motion starts from rest and maintains the acceleration profile shown in Exhibit 3 . 5 . The displacement

explain ["A particle in rectilinear motion starts from rest and maintains the acceleration profile shown in Exhibit 3.5. The displacement of the particle in the first 8 seconds is:
a.4 m
b.28 m
c.24 m
d.20 m"
Accompanying figure (Exhibit 3.5) shows the acceleration aaa versus time ttt graph. The graph is piecewise:
From t=0t =0t=0 to t=2t =2t=2 seconds, a=+4m/s2a =+4\, m/s^2a=+4m/s2.
From t=2t =2t=2 to t=8t =8t=8 seconds, a=2m/s2a =-2\, m/s^2a=2m/s2.
The particle starts from rest, meaning its initial velocity v0=0 m/sv_0=0\, m/sv0=0m/s and initial displacement x0=0 mx_0=0\, mx0=0m.] Explain what is needed to understand. the answer is d according to the book.
