Question

Use the information from the graph to answer the question.

A graph titled Velocity versus Time shows time in seconds on the x axis, numbered 0 to 25, velocity in meters per second on the y axis, numbered 0 to 40. A line starts at (0, 10) and ends at (25, 35).

What is the total displacement of the object?

m

Answer 1

Displacement = area under v–t graph = trapezoid area = (25 s) * (10 + 35) / 2 = 25 * 22.5 = 562.5 m.
