A body is moving uniformly in a straight line with a velocity of $5\ m/s$. Find graphically the distance covered by it in $5\ seconds$.

The motion of the boy is shown as below :

The distance covered in $5\ s$ will be equal to the area under AB in the graph.

So, the distance covered $=$ area of rectangle OABC

$=5\ m/s\times5\ s$

$=25\ m$

Therefore, the distance covered is $25\ m$.
