Displacement from Velocity Time Graphs

Calculate the displacement traveled in section B. Hint: Remember the area under a v-t graph = displacement!

• 150 m

• 50 m

• 100 m

• 200 m

Calculate the displacement traveled in section C. Hint: Remember the area under a v-t graph = displacement and you will need to use TWO shapes!

• 200 m

• 100 m

• 50 m

• 400 m
