Why area under the velocity-time graph is the displacement?

Open in App

Solution

The area under the velocity-time graph:
The area under the velocity-time graph will give us the magnitude of the displacement.
This is because of displacement = velocity × time.
The area under the speed-time graph will give us the distance.
