The diagram above illustrates the velocity-time graph of the motion of a body. Calculate the total distance covered by the body
- 50m
- 65m
- 175m
-
225m
- 300m
The correct answer is: D
Explanation
Distance of A = 1/2 x (10 + 20) x 5
= 1/2 x 30 x 5 = 75m. Distance of B = 20 x 5 = 100m
Distance of C = 1/2 x 5 x 20 = 50/225
∴ Total distance is 225m
