Question

The speed time graph of a cas is given here. Using the data in graph calculate the total distance by the car

Answer 1

Answer:

The Total distance covered by the car is

The Total distance covered by the car is875m

• 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 AAGF + Area of

rectangle AGOH

• Area =0.5 x 50x 25+5 x 50
• Area 625+250 875m.

Total Distance covered by the car is

Total Distance covered by the car is875m.

Answer 2

Answer:

The answer is 875 m.

Distance=Area=Area of triangle AGH +Area of rectangle AGOH

=0.5*50*25+5*50

=625+250

= 875m
