Solution

The correct option is A 36 m

Displacement is given by the area under velocity-time graph.
Thus,
Displacement (s) = A $_{1}$ + A $_{2}$ + A $_{3}$
$s = \frac{1}{2} * 2 * 4 + (8 - 2) * 4 + \frac{1}{2} * (8 - 4) * (8 - 4)$
$s = 4 + 24 + 8 = 36 m$

Find out the total distance travelled by the car in 8 seconds using data from the velocity-time graph.

The correct option is A 36 m Displacement is given by the area under velocity-time graph. Thus, Displacement (s) = A1 + A2 + A3 s = 12∗2∗4 + (8 − 2)∗4 + 12∗( 8− 4)∗(8 − 4) s = 4 + 24 + 8 = 36 m

Displacement is given by the area under velocity-time graph.
Thus,
Displacement (s) = A $_{1}$ + A $_{2}$ + A $_{3}$
$s = \frac{1}{2} * 2 * 4 + (8 - 2) * 4 + \frac{1}{2} * (8 - 4) * (8 - 4)$
$s = 4 + 24 + 8 = 36 m$
