A particle moves on a straight line with the acceleration shown in the graph. Draw the v-t and x-t curves. Assume that the initial velocity is 3 ft/s and the initial displacement is zero. Determine the farthest distance the particle will travel from the origin and the total distance travelled at 4 s.
