The speed-time graph of a particle moving along a fixed direction is shown in the figure. The distance traversed by the particle between t = 2 s the particle t = 6 s is

Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsB
Let
be the distances travelled by particle in time 2 to 5 s and
be the distance travelled by particle in time 5 to 6s.
Total distance travelled, S= 

During the time interval 0 to 5s, the accelerations of particle is equal to the slope of line OA.
i.e., 
Velocity at the end of 2s will be.
V = 0 + 
Taking motion of particle for time interval 2s to 5s,
Here, u = 

Then. 
Accelerations of the particle during the motion t = 5 s to t = 10s is
A = Slope of line AB = 
Taking motions of the particle for the time 1s (i.e. 5s to 6s),
Here, u = 12m
,a =-
t = 1s ,
