The position-time graph regarding the motion of a car is given. Find out from the graph the distance traveled by the car in 8 s.
Answer:
Draw a perpendicular to the position-time graph at the eighth second. From the point where the perpendicular meets the graph, draw another perpendicular to the Y-axis. The point at which this perpendicular meets the Y-axis is the distance traveled by the car in 8 sec. ie 40m.
The distance covered by the car is 8s = 40 m

| Velocity (m/s) | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 |
With the given data in the table, draw a velocity-time graph.
The displacement of the object between the 2nd and 8th second
= Velocity × time

= Area of the portion under the part BC of the graph
Displacement of a body within a definite interval of time is equal to the area of the portion under velocity-time graph.
Equations Of Motion
The velocity-time graph of an object traveling with uniform acceleration (freely falling stone) is given below.
PS = AR
= u
QR = v
= t2 – t1
AQ = QR – AR
= v- u
Formatin of equation showing velocity – time relation.
Acceleration = Change in velocity / time 
v- u = at
v = u + at.
This is the first equation of motion.
Formation of equation showing Position- Time Relation
Displacement = area of trapezium PQRS
S = ut + 1/2 at2 this is known as second equation of motion.
Formation of equation showing Position – Velocity Relation
Displacement = The area of the quadrilateral
This equation helps us to calculate the final velocity v of an object using u, a and s, even if the time taken to travel is unknown.
v2 = u2 + 2as
Equations of motion
v = u+at
s = ut + 1/2 at2
v2 = u2 + 2as
