Question

Suppose the initial position of an object is zero, the starting velocity is 3 m/s and the final velocity was 10 m/s. The object moves with constant acceleration. Which part of a velocity vs. time graph can be used to calculate the displacement of the object?
the area of the rectangle under the line
the area of the rectangle above the line
the area of the rectangle plus the area of the triangle under the line
the area of the rectangle plus the area of the triangle above the line

Answer 1

Answer:

The area of the rectangle plus the area of the triangle under the line

Explanation:

In this case, the object moves with constant acceleration. Initial speed of the object is 0.

Equation of kinematics :

v = u +at

v = at

v is directly proportional to time. If means that the graph is straight line passing through origin. We know that area under v-t graph gives displacement. So, the correct option is (c).
