Question: how to calculate distance from velocity 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
