The velocity-time graph of an object is shown. What is the displacement of the object after 5.00 s?

• 5m

• 25m

• 62.5m

A velocity-time graph for the motion of two people are shown. Which formula would you use to calculate the displacement of person C?

• Δx = (5.0 s)/(2.0 m/s)

• Δx =(1/2)(5.0 s)(2.0 m/s)

• Δx = (5.0 s)(2.0 m/s)

• Δx = (1/2)(5.0 s)(2.0 m/s)2
