Question

How far did the object travel and 2 seconds?

Answer 1

5 m

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the distance from a velocity vs time graph, you need to take the area under the curve. Since the acceleration is constant, the curve is a linear equation that makes a triangle, so you just need to find the area of the triangle it makes on the graph.

The area of a triangle is
`A=(1)/(2) bh` where b is the base and h is the height.

So here, since the time is 2 seconds (base) and the maximum velocity in that time frame is 5 meters per second (height), it'd just be:

`(1)/(2) (2)(5)=5`
