Question

Velocity of a particle moving along a straight line in a certain time interval is shown in the figure given. What is distance traveled during acceleration?

Answer 1

We know a body is accelerated only when a change in velocity is some number and not zero.

Therefore, here

We know, distance is the area covered under the v-t graph.

$$\begin{gathered} D=\frac{1}{2}\times 2\times 10+10\times 2+\frac{1}{2}\times 4\times 10 \\ D=10+20+20 \\ D=50m \end{gathered}$$
