8. The speed - time graph of a car is given here. Using the data in the
graph calculate the total distance covered by the car.
(a) 1250 m
(b) 875 m
(C) 1500 m
(d) 870 m
Answers
Answer:
Explanation:
The Total distance covered by the car is 875m
Given the speed- time graph of a car.
From the graph we can write the equation for speed with respect to time.
We know Speed = distance/time
Distance = speed x time .
In the given scenario, it is the area under the speed curve, the straight line.
Area = Area of ΔAGF + Area of rectangle AG0H
Area = 0.5 x 50 x 25 + 5 x 50
Area = 625 + 250 = 875m.
Total Distance covered by the car is 875m.
