Please help ASAP!!
The velocity-time graph of a particle moving in a straight line is shown in a figure. Find the distance travelled by the particle in the time interval t = 0 and t= 10 s.

Answer 1

Answer:

40 m

Explanation:

The area under v-t graph gives the distance travelled by the particle.

Distance = area of ΔOBC + area of ΔCDE + area of ΔEFG

$=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 4\times 10+\dfrac{1}{2}\times 2\times 10+\dfrac{1}{2}\times 4\times 5\\\\=40\ m$

So, the distance travelled by the particle in the time interval t = 0 and t= 10 s is equal to 40 m.
