Question
From the velocity – time graph given below, calculate Average velocity in region CED.

Advertisements
Solution
Displacement covered in region ΔCDE = area of ΔCDE
= `1/2xx"ED"xx"CE"`
= `1/2xx(28-16)xx6`
= `1/2xx12xx6`
= 36 m
Average velocity in region CED = `"Total displacement"/"Time"`
= `36/12`
= 3 ms−1
