Question

How can we find the distance traveled by the body in the velocity time graph?

2 points

a) By finding slope

b) By finding acceleration

c) By finding area of the figure formed by graph​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Calculating the distance travelled

Calculate the total distance travelled by the object - its motion is represented by the velocity-time graph below.

Here, the distance travelled can be found by calculating the total area of the shaded sections below the line.

½ × base × height.

½ × 4 × 8 = 16 m 2

(10 – 4) × 8 = 48 m 2
