Bredan is driving through town at 25m/s and begins to accelerate at a constant rate of -1.0m/s/s. Eventually Brendan comes to a complete stop.
A) Represent Brendan's accelerated motion by sketching a velocity-time graph.
B) Use the velocity-time graph to determine his total displacement.
C) Use kinematic a equations to calculate the displacement which Brendan travels while accelerating.

The distance traveled can be found by calculating the area between the line on the graph and the axes.
Area = 0.5*bh
Area = 0.5*(25.0 s)*(25.0 m/s)
Area = 313 m
Area = 0.5*bh
Area = 0.5*(25.0 s)*(25.0 m/s)
Area = 313 m
