Yes because if not people wouldn't understand how did you calculate electric field strength.
The area-
The area under the line in a velocity-time graph represents the distance travelled. To find the distance travelled in the graph above, we need to find the area of the light-blue triangle and the dark-blue rectangle.
<span><span>Area of light-blue triangle -
<span>The width of the triangle is 4 seconds and the height is 8 meters per second. To find the area, you use the equation: <span>area of triangle = 1⁄2 × base × height </span><span>so the area of the light-blue triangle is 1⁄2 × 8 × 4 = 16m. </span></span></span><span> Area of dark-blue rectangle
The width of the rectangle is 6 seconds and the height is 8 meters per second. So the area is 8 × 6 = 48m.</span><span> Area under the whole graph
<span>The area of the light-blue triangle plus the area of the dark-blue rectangle is:16 + 48 = 64m.<span>This is the total area under the distance-time graph. This area represents the distance covered.</span></span></span></span>
<u>Answer</u>
The combined displacement is 2km north
<u>Explanation</u>
Since displacement is a vector quantity, we take into account the direction.
Good for us all the displacement vectors are in the same dimension, so we can make north positive and south negative or vice-versa.
We now add to obtain,
This will simplify to
Therefore the combined displacement is 2km north
It's either staying there or is going at the same pace
