The earth always revolves around the sun, so yes.
Where’s the question page at??
The short answer is that the displacement is equal tothe area under the curve in the velocity-time graph. The region under the curve in the first 4.0 s is a triangle with height 10.0 m/s and length 4.0 s, so its area - and hence the displacement - is
1/2 • (10.0 m/s) • (4.0 s) = 20.00 m
Another way to derive this: since velocity is linear over the first 4.0 s, that means acceleration is constant. Recall that average velocity is defined as
<em>v</em> (ave) = ∆<em>x</em> / ∆<em>t</em>
and under constant acceleration,
<em>v</em> (ave) = (<em>v</em> (final) + <em>v</em> (initial)) / 2
According to the plot, with ∆<em>t</em> = 4.0 s, we have <em>v</em> (initial) = 0 and <em>v</em> (final) = 10.0 m/s, so
∆<em>x</em> / (4.0 s) = (10.0 m/s) / 2
∆<em>x</em> = ((4.0 s) • (10.0 m/s)) / 2
∆<em>x</em> = 20.00 m
