Measuring Distance Using Velocity Time Graphs

This video tutorial explains how to calculate the distance traveled by an object using velocity-time graphs. It covers scenarios with constant velocity, increasing velocity, and more complex graphs. The tutorial demonstrates how to calculate the area under the graph to determine the distance, using examples with both simple and complex velocity changes. The video concludes with a comprehensive example that involves splitting the graph into geometric shapes to find the total distance traveled.

Explain how to find the total area under a velocity time graph when the object has an initial velocity greater than zero.
