Answer
We infer from the graph, that vehicle A is moving faster than vehicle B. It is so because, the slope of line A is more than that of line B.

How is the velocity obtained from the displacement-time graph for a body moving with a varying speed in a fixed direction?
State how the velocity-time graph can be used to find —
(i) the acceleration of a body,
(ii) the distance travelled by the body in a given time, and
(iii) the displacement of the body in a given time.
What can you say about the nature of motion of a body if its displacement-time graph is —
(a) a straight line parallel to time axis?
(b) a straight line inclined to the time axis with an acute angle?
(c) a straight line inclined to the time axis with an obtuse angle?
(d) a curve
Draw a velocity-time graph for a body moving with an initial velocity u and uniform acceleration a. Use this graph to find the distance travelled by the body in time t.
