Area under the velocity versus time graph? - Answers

Area under velocity versus time graph(between two given instances of time i.e. two points on time axis) gives the displacement of the body( whose graph was plotted) between those two instances i.e. in that time interval. Area under velocity time graph can be found from definite integration if the graph is a curve. Note: Area under velocity versus time graph gives displacement not distance covered by body. Note: Area enclosed between the plotted curve and time axis is taken. For convenience time should be taken in the x-axis.
