Question

What is the displacement between the interval 0-4s

Answer 1

120 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the displacement in the velocity-time graph, we can do that by finding the area under the graph. Since from t = 0 to 4, the points form a right triangle, we can find the area by using triangle area formula:

`\displaystyle{A = (1)/(2) * b * h}`

We know that base is 4 and height is 60. Therefore:

`\displaystyle{A = (1)/(2) * 4* 60} \\ \\ \displaystyle{A = 2* 60} \\ \\ \displaystyle{A = 120}`

Since area is 120 under the graph then that means the displacement is 120 meters.
