Question: ( II ) A particle moving in one dimension experiences the piecewise acceleration, a ( t ) , shown in the adjacent figure. Time is

(II) A particle moving in one dimension experiences the piecewise acceleration, a(t), shown in the adjacent figure. Time is measured in seconds and acceleration in ms2. The open circles indicate instants at which the acceleration changed abruptly - effectively instantaneously.
At t=0s the particle is at x0=-2.5m and is moving with velocity v0=-1ms.
Our goal, in this question, is to determine the particle's position and velocity at t=10s.(R1)(i) Determine an expression for the particle's velocity [expressed as a function of time] during the time interval tin[0,5]s.
?bar(v)=st
(ii) Compute the velocity of the particle at the instant t=5s.,vec(v)(t)=vec(v)0+vec(a).
(iii) Determine an expression for the particle's position during the time interva tin[0,5]s.
(iv) Compute the position of the particle at the instant t=5s.
P=-0.2s=0.04((m)(s))-2.5:0.04=0.1m(13)
(R2) Let tilde(t)=t-5 denote the time that the particle spends in the second acceleration regime.
(i) Determine an expression for the particle's velocity during the time interval tilde(t)in[0,5]s.
?bar(v)=st=,-0.2s=-0.04ms
