This value represents the elapsed time during which the object was in motion. Let’s apply these steps to a sample problem: Given a v-t graph with initial velocity (v1) = 5 m/s at t1 = 0 s, final ...

The displacement of this object is the area of the velocity time graph. To calculate the displacement we need to calculate the area. This means dividing the “area” into a series of triangles ...

counting the squares beneath the line (particularly if the lines of the graph are curved) Calculate the total displacement of the object, whose motion is represented by the velocity-time graph below.
