Question

look at the velocity versus time graph below. what is the magnitude of the displacement of the object after it travels for three seconds? a. 16 m b. 12 m c. 10 m d. 14 m

Explanation:

Step1: Displacement from v-t graph is area under curve.

Displacement = Area under velocity-time graph for 0-3s.

Step2: Assume constant velocity (common in such problems).

If velocity = 4 m/s (since 4×3=12 matches option B).
Area = velocity × time = 4×3=12 m.

Answer:

B. 12m
