The diagram above illustrates the velocity-time graph of a body. Calculate the distance covered by the body during the motion
- 15m
- 84m
-
72m
- 48m
The correct answer is: C
Explanation
Distance covered = Area under the graph
D = area of square + area of trapezium
D = L x L + 1/2(a+b)h
D = 4 x 4 + 1/2( 4+ 10)8
D = 16 + 1/2 x 14 x 8
D = 16 + 56
D = 72m.
