Motion In Straight Line

Question
CBSEENPH11017183

The velocity of a particle at any instant is given by v = 5t + 3. From the v- t graph, find the displacement of the particle between t = 2 to t = 5.

Solution

Here,
Velocity of a particle at any instant, v = 5t + 3
So,
Velocity|t=2 is v(2) = 13 m/s
velocity|t=5 is  v(5) = 28 m/s 
We know displacement of particle is equal to area under v-t graph.
space space therefore Distance travelled = Area of trapezium ABCD
                                space equals space 1 half left parenthesis AB plus BC right parenthesis cross times DC
space equals 1 half left parenthesis 13 plus 28 right parenthesis cross times 3 equals 61.5 straight m
