Question

The velocity time graph of a particle moving along a straight line is as shown below. Calculate the distance covered between t=0 to t=8s.Also calculate the displacement between the same interval​

Answer 1

Find area under the graph and since it is displacement time graph substrate area under the graph

Answer 2

For Distance

we wont consider the signs , rather we will simply be adding the sum of all distances

for Displacement

we will be considering all the signs
