≪m,downwards≫ ✓Further Explanation:
The area under the velocity-time graph is equal to the ball's displacement. The area can be calculated by using the small square approximation. The area As of each small square:
- As=(0.2)(1)=0.2m
There are approximately 625 small squares. Therefore, the total area A or displacement:
- A=(625)(0.2)=125m
Note that displacement is a vector quantity and so a direction should be stated. In this case, the ball is falling so the direction of the displacement is downwards.
