Concept explainers
Suppose that Sue runs faster than Kathy throughout a 1500-meter race. What is the physical meaning of the area between their velocity curves for the first minute of the race?
To Define: the physical meaning of area between the person A (sue) and person B’s (Kathy) velocity curves for the first minute of the race.
Explanation of Solution
The area between Person A and Person B’s velocity curve explains that how many meters person A is running more than the person B after the first minute.
Thus, the area between Person A and Person B’s 1500-meter velocity curves for the first minute of the race is defined.
The distance travelled by person A and B is the area under the velocity curve, and the relative distance between the runners is the area between the two curves.
