The graph represents the straight line motion of a car. How far does the car travel between t = 2 s and t = 5 s?
Correct answer: D. 36 m
- A. 4 m
- B. 24 m
- C. 12 m
- D. 36 m
Explanation
Distance covered by body = area under v-t graph with time axis. Since we have to find the distance between t= 2s and t= 5s, The area under this time interval is represented by a rectangle. Area of rectangle = length * base So, distance covered by body from time 2s to 5 s = (12)(3) = 36 m

About Force and Motion
Displacement, velocity and acceleration describe motion, including the horizontal and vertical components of projectile motion. The chapter connects these quantities with Newton's laws, momentum and impulse, then applies conservation of momentum to collisions, distinguishing elastic collisions from inelastic ones.
