Question

A velocity-time graph for a moving object is shown below. What would be the total displacement during time t =0 to t = 6s?

• A. 10 m
• B. 20 m
• C. 2.5 m
• D. 0.0 m

Answer 1

The correct option is A 10 m

Total displacement between t = 0 to t =6 s is the area under the graph between 0 and 6.
$area=(2\ast 5)+\frac{1}{2}(2\ast 5)-\frac{1}{2}(2\ast 5)=10m$
Hence answer is 10m.
