Area under velocity versus time graph(between two given instances of time i.e. two points on time axis) gives the displacement of the body( whose graph was plotted) between those two instances i.e. in that time interval. Area under velocity time graph can be found from definite integration if the graph is a curve.
Note: Area under velocity versus time graph gives displacement not distance covered by body.
Note: Area enclosed between the plotted curve and time axis is taken. For convenience time should be taken in the x-axis.

What does the area under an acceleration time graph show?
The area under an acceleration-time graph is equal to the object's velocity (not change in velocity).
What equals the displacement on a velocity-time graph?
Displacement is the area under the v-t graph.
The area under a velocity-time graph represents?
The distance travelled over the time period represented by the area under the v-t graph between the end points.
What is the unit of a physical quantity which is represented by area under a velocity time graph?
the physical quantity is distance and unit is meters

change in velocity

What does the area under the acceleration-time graph represent?
its the velocity
What is the area under the un uniform acceleration time graph?
Velocity.
Give me another term for the area under a velocity-time graph?
The area under the velocity time graph of an object is equal to the distance travelled by that object in that time. This is because displacement is the integral of velocity with respect to time so integrating velocity from time A to time B will give the displacement from time A to time B. ( Integrating is the same as calculating the area under the graph)
What information can be learned from a position-time graph and from a speed-time graph?
A position time graph can show you velocity. As time changes, so does position, and the velocity of the object can be determined. For a speed time graph, you can derive acceleration. As time changes, so does velocity, and the acceleration of the object can be determined.If you are plotting velocity (speed) versus time, the slope is the acceleration.
What do you measure by finding area under the velocity time graph?
distance travelled
Calculate distance from a velocity time graph?
The area between the graph and the x-axis is the distance moved. If the velocity is constant the v vs t graph is a straight horizontal line. The shape of the area under the graph is a rectangle. For constant velocity, distance = V * time. Time is the x-axis and velocity is the y-axis. If the object is accelerating, the velocity is increasing at a constant rate. The graph is a line whose slope equals the acceleration. The shape of the graph is a triangle. The area under the graph is ½ * base * height. The base is time, and the height is the velocity. If the initial velocity is 0, the average velocity is final velocity ÷ 2. Distance = average velocity * time. Distance = (final velocity ÷ 2) * time, time is on the x-axis, and velocity is on the y-axis. (final velocity ÷ 2) * time = ½ time * final velocity ...½ base * height = ½ time * final velocity Area under graph = distance moved Most velocity graphs are horizontal lines or sloping lines.
What is the area of a position time graph?
The area of a position-time graph does not have a meaning. However, the area under a velocity-time graph is the displacement. Refer to the related link below for an illustration.
The area under a velocity-time graph represents?
The distance travelled over the time period represented by the area under the v-t graph between the end points.
Can a position time graph be created from a velocity time graph?
Distance travelled from a velocity / time graph can be calculated from area under graph, say area under (v/t) graph from 0 - 1 seconds = distance travelled after 1 second, then do 0 - 2 seconds, 0 - 3 etc for set of data for distance / time graph
How do you go from a position graph to a velocity graph?
you can't....it's merely impossible! Assuming it is a graph of velocity vs time, it's not impossible, it's simple. Average velocity is total distance divided by total time. The total time is the difference between finish and start times, and the distance is the area under the graph between the graph and the time axis.
