उत्तर
Displacement from velocity – time graph: Displacement covered by a body is equal to the area under velocity – time graph. When an object moves with a uniform velocity, the velocity – time graph is a straight line (PQ) parallel to the time axis.

Take any two points A and B on velocity – time graph.
From A and B, draw two perpendiculars AD and BC on the time axis such that
OD = t1 and OC = t2
Let OP = AD = BC = v = Velocity of the body.
Area under velocity – time graph = Area of rectangle ABCD
= AD × DC = v × (OC − OD) = v (t2 − t1)
= Displacement covered by the body
