Question

The velocity time graph of an object is shown below. How far does the object travel in the time interval t =4 s to t = 6 s?

Answer 1

The distance covered by the object between t =4 s and t = 6 s is 4 m

Explanation:

In a velocity-time graph, the distance covered by the object represented can be found by calculating the area under the curve.

Therefore, the distance covered by the object between t = 4 s and t = 6 s is the area under the curve between 4 s and 6 s.

We see that we have to calculate the area of a triangle, with:

Base:

$b=6-4 = 2$

And height:

$h=4-0 = 4$

Therefore, the area is

$A=\frac{1}{2}bh=\frac{1}{2}(2)(4)=4$

So, the distance covered by the object is 4 m.
