What does the area under a velocity-time graph represent?.
- A.Acceleration
- B.Distance travelled
- C.Displacement
- D.Speed
Model answer
What a good answer should say
- Distance travelled
Explanation
Why this works
The area under a velocity-time graph quantifies the total distance travelled by an object over a specific time interval. This evidence indicates that the area corresponds to the product of velocity and time, implying that it represents distance.
Therefore, the conclusion is that the area under the graph gives the distance travelled.
