What does the area underneath a velocity vs. time graph represent?

Question

What does the area underneath a velocity vs. time graph represent?

Answer 1

Not distance, displacement. We are dealing with vectors here, not scalars...

Answer 2

if you look at a vel vs time graph, the area under the graph comes from multiplying vel x time...and now remember that



dist = vel x time



so that the area under this graph is the total distance traveled

Answer 3

Position.



PvsT-slope=V

VvsT-slope=A

AvsT-slope=nothing



PvsT-area=nothing

VvsT-area=Position

AvsT-area=Velocity
