Question

What does area under the velocity time curve represents?

Answer 1

Displacement ( NOT DISTANCE) is represented by the area under the velocity time curve

Answer 2

Answer:

The area under a velocity-time graph will give the displacement made by the object.

Explanation:

In a velocity-time graph, velocity is plotted in the Y-axis, and time is plotted in the X-axis. When we are trying to find the area of the graph, we are doing operations with the values in the axes of the graph.

Suppose the area to be found in the graph is that of a rectangle. The area of a rectangle is the product of its length and breadth. These measurements of length and breadth will eventually lead to taking the products of the quantities in the Y and X-axes. ie; the product of velocity and time, which will give us the value of displacement.
