Claim: The constant motion vehicle will travel a distance of 50 meters during the 10-second time
interval.
Collect evidence about the physical meaning of the area under the line on the graph that can be
used to support the claim above. Using the equation for the area of a rectangle (Area = length x
width), write an equation (including units) for the area of the rectangle between the velocity vs.
time line and the x-axis between t = 0 and t = 10 seconds.
Evidence: The area under the line of the velocity vs. time graph is equal to
