1.8 determine the distance traveled from the area between a velocity-time graph and the time axis.

1.8 determine the distance travelled from the area between a velocity-time graph and the time axis.

Distance can be determined by finding the area under a velocity-time graph as shown below

Distance travelled = area under the graph
= 1/2(a+b)h
= 1/2(100 + 40) x 150
= 1/2 x 140 x 150
= 10500 m
