The graph shows velocity versus time for a runner running on a straight road. The position at ( mathrm{t}=0 ) is ( mathrm{x}=0 ). The maximum speed ( v_{M} ) is ( 6.8 mathrm{~m} / mathrm{s} ) How far does the runner travel in ( 8 mathrm{~s} ) ?

Step 1
You are given a velocity-time graph for a runner and you need to find the total distance traveled by the runner in 8 seconds. The initial position is given as \( x = 0 \) and the maximum speed \( v_{M} \) is \( 6.8 \, m/s \). Show more…

How far does the runner whose velocity-time graph is shown in Fig. $2-24$ travel in the time interval between (a) $\mathrm{t}_{2}=2 \mathrm{~s}$ and $10 \mathrm{~s} ;(\mathrm{b})$ $\mathrm{t}_{12}=12 \mathrm{~s}$ and $\mathrm{t}_{16}=16 \mathrm{~s} ?$
The velocity time graph of runner is given in the graph: (a) What is the total distance covered by the runner in 16 s ? (b) What is the acceleration of the runner at t =11s ?
