Distance covered = Area enclosed by v-t graph = Area of triangle =(1/2) × 4 × 8=16 m

Q. $v - t$ graph for a particle is as shown. The distance travelled in the first $4 s$ is

12 m

16 m

20 m

24 m

Distance covered $=$ Area enclosed by $v - t$ graph
= Area of triangle
$= \frac{1}{2} \times 4 \times 8 = 16 m$
