Question

Please help ASAP!!

The velocity-time graph of a particle moving in a straight line is shown in a figure. Find the distance travelled by the particle in the time interval t = 0 and t= 10 s.

Answer 1

40 m

Step-by-step explanation:

The area under v-t graph gives the distance travelled by the particle.

Distance = area of ΔOBC + area of ΔCDE + area of ΔEFG

`=(1)/(2)* 4* 10+(1)/(2)* 2* 10+(1)/(2)* 4* 5\\\\=40\ m`

So, the distance travelled by the particle in the time interval t = 0 and t= 10 s is equal to 40 m.
