A body is moving uniformly in a straight line with a velocity of 5 m/s. Find graphically the distance covered by it in 5 seconds.

Open in App
Solution



A graph has been shown above for the given motion.

For a uniform motion in a straight line, the area under the velocity-time graph gives the distance covered by the body.

The area under the graph for the given data = 5 m/s × 5 s=25 m

Hence, the distance covered by the body in 5 seconds is 25 m.
