Question 4 pls

Solution,
A velocity-time graph shows how the velocity of a moving body changes with time.
It can be used to find the following quantities in the manner shown below:
(i) Acceleration of the body:
Acceleration is rate of change of velocity.
a=dvdtanddvdt=slope of the v-t curve at any instant of time.
So, it can be determined by finding the slope of the velocity - time graph at the given instant of time. It is the tangent to the curve at that instant.

(ii) The displacement of the body:
Velocity of a body is the rate of change of displacement.
velocity, v=dxdtthus, the displacement within a given time interval is given by:x=dx=0tvdt=Area bounded by the v-t curve, the velocity axis at t=0 and t=t and the time axis.
(iii) Magnitude of displacement is equal to actual distance travelled only in case of straight line motion. In general case, where the motion is not a straight line motion distance travelled can't be determined directly from the v-t curve.
