Question
How to find displacement from velocity-time graph? Explain.
✓
Answer
Graph drawn between velocity and time in uniform motion. The area of the rectangle formed between the straight line at the time axis is equal to the distance (displacement) travelled by the body. The distance covered by the body in the time interval (t2-t1) will be the displacement. Since here the movement is happening in one-dimension and the direction is not changing,
Distance = Velocity $\times$ time
x2 - x1 = v(t2 - t1)
= Area of rectangle ABCD
Even in a comprehensive velocity-time graph, the middle of the curve and the time axis area is equal to displacement.
