Please help me with this question im stuck on it for an hour im so confused i dont know how to do a but i can do b :)

96 m

2 m/sec²

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

In a velocity and time graph , the area which is under the plotted line represents the distance traveled

In the given graph , the plotted line from t=0 to t=4 ( for the first 4 secs) is a   triangle with base = 4 and height = 8

Area of this triangle is (1/2) * b * h = (1/2)* 4*8 = 16 m

Step 2 :

The plotted line from t = 4 to t = 14 is a rectangle with length equal to 10 and breadth equal to 8

Hence its area = length * breadth = 10 * 8 = 80 m

Step 3 :

Total  distance traveled is 80 + 16 = 96 m

Step 4 :

In the velocity time graph , slope denotes the acceleration at any given time. Since we want the acceleration for the first 4 secs, we need to find  slope of  line in from t = 0 to t= 4

when t = 0, v =0 and t= 4, v = 8

Slope = 8-0/4-0 =2 m/sec²
