From the graph we can get equation using y-y1=m(x-x1)=>a-0=-1(t-1),∫adt=v,∫vdt=s

V=∫(-t+1)dt=t^2/2+t=>s=-t^3/6+t^2/2 substituting t=4 will give you s as 0.33

Hello Srujith,

Your equations are perfectly correct but the required quantity is distance and not displacement so the answer is given as 4 m and not 0.33 m. Please post another answer on how to calculate the distance!

Thanks!
