Answer 1

Given:

The v-t graph of a racing car from one stop to another stop is shown.

To find:

Distance travelled between two stops

Calculation:

Distance can be calculated from the area enclosed under the velocity time graph.

Let distance be d;

$\sf{d = area \: of \: \Delta}$

$= > \sf{d = \dfrac{1}{2} \times (base) \times (height) }$

$= > \sf{d = \dfrac{1}{2} \times (100) \times (500) }$

$= > \sf{d = (50) \times (500) }$

$= > \sf{d = 25000 \: m }$

$= > \sf{d = 25\: km }$

So , final answer is:

$\boxed{ \rm{distance \: between \: two \: stops = 25\: km }}$
