What is the physical quantity measured under a speed time graph?

If you mean 'measured by the area under the speed/time graph' then this is total distance travelled.


Area under the velocity time graph line is 40 M. What physical quantity does this area represent?

It represent the distance covered is 40 metre.


Why the area under a speed-time graph gives distancestan?

This is easier to understand when the graph is horizontal. Speed is defined as distance / time. Rearranging the equation: distance = speed x time. In the graph, that would be proportional to the area of the rectangle under the (horizontal) speed line. If speed is variable, the graph can be approximated by many small rectangles. The same reasoning as above applies to each one. This method - of separating an area into many small parts - is called "integration".

What is the physical meaning of the area under the curve of the graph of velocity vs time?

The area under the speed/time graph between two points in time is the distance covered during that time.


How do you do you average speed on a graph?

Assuming it's a graph of speed vs time, then between 2 times, the average is the distance (= area under the graph between those times) divided by the time difference.


How is a distance- time graph different than a speed time graph?

The variable plotted along the vertical axis is the distance in the first case, speed in the second. The gradient of (the tangent to) the distance-time graph is the speed while the area under the curve of the speed-time graph is the distance.


What is represented by the area under the slope line on a speed time graph?

That's the distance covered.


What does the area under a position vs time squared graph represents?
