Question

The speed versus time graph, for a particle, is shown in the figure. The distance travelled (in $\text{m}$) by the particle during the time interval $t=0\text{to}t=5\text{sec}$ will be

Answer 1

Distance travelled = Area of speed-time graph

$=A\left(\Delta OAB\right)=\frac{1}{2}\times 5\times 8=20\text{m}$.
