Question

velocity vs time
what is the displacement of the object depicted (shown) in the graph above from time t = 0s to t = 5s?
a 0.2 m
b 0 m
c 5 m
d 1 m
δx = v·t

Explanation:

Step1: Identify velocity and time values

From the graph, velocity $v = 1\ m/s$ and time interval $\Delta t=5 - 0=5\ s$.

Step2: Apply displacement formula

The formula for displacement is $\Delta x = v\times t$. Substituting $v = 1\ m/s$ and $t = 5\ s$, we get $\Delta x=1\times5 = 5\ m$.

Answer:

C. 5 m
