Velocity vs Time 0 5 10 15 20 0 2 4 6 Object A Time (s) Velocity (m/s)
Using the area under the graph between t = 0 and t = 6 s, what is the total displacement of the car?
72 m — area of the triangle under the v-t curve
B
144 m
C
24 m
D
48 m
✓ Area = ½ × base × height = ½ × 6 × 24 = 72 m. The area under a v-t graph gives displacement — a classic WACE graph-reading question.
