Question

Consider the graph below that represents the variation of the velocity with respect to time of an object moving along the x - axis . The distance traveled during the second part of the trip ( 10s to 18s ) is equal to :

Answer 1

In a velocity-time graph, the area under the curve represents the distance.

The distance traveled from 10s to 18 s is

`\begin{gathered} d\text{ = }(1)/(2)*10*(18-10) \\ =\text{ 40 m} \end{gathered}`

Final Answer: The distance traveled is 40 m from time 10 s to 18 s.
