Solution

The displacement s at time t can be found by integrating the velocity function v(t) with respect to time.

The velocity function is given as v(t) = 1.6t + 2.

Step 1: Integrate the velocity function with respect to time.

∫v(t) dt = ∫(1.6t + 2) dt = 0.8t^2 + 2t + C

Here, C is the constant of integration.

Step 2: To find the value of C, we use the initial condition that the displacement is 1.3 cm at t = 0.

So, 1.3 = 0.80^2 + 20 + C => C = 1.3

Therefore, the equation for the displacement s at time t is:

s(t) = 0.8t^2 + 2t + 1.3
