2.Motion in Straight Line
medium
The $v -t$ graph of a rectilinear motion is shown in adjoining figure. The distance from starting point after $8$ seconds is ..........$metre$

A
$18 $
B
$12$
C
$8$
D
$6$
Solution
Distance $=$area under the graph…
$\mathrm{So}$
Distance $=[(4 \times 1) / 2]+(2 \times 4)+[(4 \times 1) / 2]$$+[(-2 \times 1) / 2]+[(-2) \times 2]+[(-2 \times 1) / 2]$
$=2+8+2-1+-4+-1$
$=12-6$
$=6 \mathrm{m}$
