Question

Area under the velocity-time graph of a body in a given time interval is 40m^2.The displacement of body in that interval of time will be​

Answer 1

Answer:

40 m/s

Explanation:

As per the provided information in the given question, we have :

• Area under the velocity-time graph of a body in a given time interval is 40 m².

We've been asked to calculate the displacement of body in that interval of time.

$\longrightarrow$ The displacement of the body in that interval of time will be 40 m/s. This is because, the area under the velocity-time graph gives the magnitude of the displacement. Thus, displacement is 40 m/s.

• Displacement is the shortest distance from the body's initial position to final position.

• It is a vector quantity i.e, it requires both magnitude and direction for its description.

• Its SI unit is m/s.

• Displacement can be negative, positive or zero.

• The area under the velocity-time graph gives the magnitude of the displacement.

• The slope of velocity-time graph gives the acceleration of the object.
