Question: how to calculate distance travelled in a speed time graph?
Answer: Calculate the total distance travelled by the object - its motion is represented by the velocity-time graph below. Here, the distance travelled can be found by calculating the total area of the shaded sections below the line. ½ × base × height. ½ × 4 × 8 = 16 m 2 (10 – 4) × 8 = 48 m 2
