What is the distance covered by the object at the time between 0s to 10s?
Understand the Problem
The question is asking for the total distance covered by the object during the time interval from 0 to 10 seconds based on the data presented in the Position-Time graph. The distance can be determined by analyzing the graph to find the initial and final positions at the specified time.
Answer
$5 \, \text{m}$
Answer for screen readers
The distance covered by the object at the time between 0 to 10 seconds is $5 , \text{m}$.
Steps to Solve
-
Determine Initial and Final Positions At $t = 0$ seconds, the position is $0 , \text{m}$. At $t = 10$ seconds, the position is $5 , \text{m}$ (as observed from the end of the graph).
-
Calculate the Total Distance Covered Distance covered is calculated as the absolute difference between the final position and the initial position:
$$ \text{Distance} = \text{Final Position} - \text{Initial Position} $$ Substituting the values we found:
$$ \text{Distance} = 5 , \text{m} - 0 , \text{m} = 5 , \text{m} $$ -
Conclusion Therefore, the total distance covered by the object from 0 to 10 seconds is $5 , \text{m}$.
The distance covered by the object at the time between 0 to 10 seconds is $5 , \text{m}$.
More Information
The position-time graph represents an object's motion. Here, the object moves from the start position (0 m) to a position of 5 m at the end of the interval, indicating a straightforward calculation of distance traveled.
Tips
- Misreading graph coordinates can lead to incorrect initial or final position values, so it's important to check each value precisely.
- Confusing distance with displacement; note that distance is always a positive value.
