Question
In the following figure Shows the graph of velocity versus time for a particle going along the X-axis. Find the distance travelled in 0 to 10s
Solution
Area in the v–t graph gives the distance travelled.
Distance travelled = Area of ∆ABC + Area of rectangle OABD
= \[\frac{1}{2} \times 6 \times 10 + 10 \times 2 = 50 \text{ m}\]
