So the area under a velocity time graph is distance or displacement, if you have done calculus yet you will understand that if you take the integral of a velocity function then you end up with displacement. Thats for later understanding however.
So this appears to be a right triangle so we can find the area of a triangle as:
0.5bh = A
Since our area is 10 meters lets alter our formula a bit to fit the situation:
Our base here is time and our height is velocity so:
0.5tv = Δx
So we can read off the graph that our velocity at the end, or our final velocity appears to be near 2.0 m/s
So we have v, and Δx so lets isolate for time by dividing by v and 0.5
t = Δx / 0.5v
Now lets plug all that in:
t = 10 / 0.5(2)
t = 10 seconds
Hope this helped!
