Graphs of Motion

The velocity-time graph of an object moving along a straight line is shown in the figure. What is the distance covered by the object between t=0t = 0 to t=4 st = 4\text{ s}?

Figure

Show answer and solution

Answer: (b)

  1. Distance = area under the vv-tt graph from 0 to 4 s.
  2. 0 to 2 s (triangle): 12×2×10=10 m\frac{1}{2}\times 2\times 10 = 10\text{ m}
  3. 2 to 4 s (rectangle): 2×10=20 m2\times 10 = 20\text{ m}
  4. Total =30 m= 30\text{ m}. So the answer is (b).
