Question:

The speed verses time graph for a particle is shown in the figure. The distance travelled (in m) by the particle during the time interval t = 0 to t = 5 s will be________.

Show Hint

Distance is the area under the speed-time graph; the line passes through the origin and the marked point (5 s, 8 m/s).

Correct Answer: 20

Solution and Explanation

The graph is a straight line from the origin to the marked point at t = 5 s, speed = 8 m/s.
Distance \(=\) area of the triangle \(= \tfrac12\times5\times8 = 20\) m.
