Answer:
It traveled 4 centimeters.
Explanation:
In a speed versus time graph, the distance travelled is given by the area under the graph.
In this graph we have the following:
- The speed of the object is v = 1 cm/s between time t = 0 s and t = 4 s
- The speed of the object is v = 0 cm/s between time t = 4 s and t = 8 s
Since the speed in the second part is zero, the distance travelled in the second part is zero. So, the only distance travelled by the object is the distance travelled during the first part, which is equal to the area of the first rectangle:
