particle is initially at rest at the origin at t = 0.00 s. From t = 0.00 s to t = 5.00 s its velocity changes according to v(t) = (3.20 m/s2)t. From t = 5.00s to t = 11.00s its velocity changes according to v(t) = (16.00 m/s) - (1.50 m/s2)(t - 5.00 s). From t = 11.00 s to t = 20.00 s its velocity does not change. What is the position of the particle at t = 16.54?

Question

A particle is initially at rest at the origin at t = 0.00 s. From t = 0.00 s to t = 5.00 s its velocity changes according to v(t) = (3.20 m/s2)t. From t = 5.00s to t = 11.00s its velocity changes according to v(t) = (16.00 m/s) - (1.50 m/s2)(t - 5.00 s). From t = 11.00 s to t = 20.00 s its velocity does not change.

What is the position of the particle at t = 16.54?
